I feel I have to respond to this. I had a DirecTivo. It was 100 times easier to setup than Myth ever was. That is not to say that Myth isn't 1000 times better than TiVo. Myth has so many more functions. I completely agree with Rob here. Tivo is cool...but it is like a gateway drug. It will definately lead you into harsher distros. I can't praise Myth enough. Excellent work!
