Yep, Bret has made 3 posts to this list, and barring one quite
sarcastic remark suggesting he get MySky, he has been encouraged every
time. I even went to his house and set up mythtv so it was working
flawlessly, but his son f***ed the computer soon afterwards, so that
was that. I started ot fix it but there was a software glitch in the
newer version and I never got a chance to go back and fix it, and then
earthquakes happened and, well you all know the rest...

Until this thread Bret hasn't posted since 2009, although he has
emailed me direct a couple of times.

No one has ever suggested on this list that he go back to windows.

Bret, a new install of mythbuntu should go a whole lot smoother than
before. The software, drivers and general usability has gone up
enormously.
