<DIV>The other point I'd make is that if you don't care about the "new
paradigm", if Live TV is your main thing, then you're probably better off
with a MySky box or another good PVR. Live TV is simply not one of MythTVs
strengths. If you must have MythTV then it'll annoy you less if you make a
conscious effort to adopt the paradigm and forget about LiveTV and to
convince the other users in your household to do the same.

been using MythTV for nearly two years & have found it hard to convince
the family to adopt the new paradigm, until i hit on a solution... give them
no choice. I had an old rear projection TV that I hated and gave away,
planning to upgrade. While searching for the upgrade, I just put a 21"
computer monitor in the lounge. No analogue receiver, no direct sky input, but
a surprisingly clear and watchable picture... they had no choice but to use
Myth (or as my daughter calls it 'Blue'. It's both a noun and a verb
already!).<BR><BR>Three months later, still no 42" replacement and everyone
has come to adopt the new paradigm.<BR><BR>But now the pressure is on to
resolve some annoyances which I'll address in another post...<BR><BR>-
