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. </div>

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>
