Nicely put, Michael. I guess that was really my point... I'd forgotten about that little snippet from Isaac. As another poster pointed out, it's by developers and for developers. It may never be perfect for someone else... but it's as close to perfect for me as I've gotten so far. Besides, can't complain about the price ;)

I got tired of the rather low quality cable box that AT&T Broadband
provides with their digital cable service. It's slow to change channels,
ridden with ads, and the program guide is a joke. So, I figured it'd be
fun to try and build a replacement. Yes, I could have just bought a
TiVo, but I wanted to have more than just a PVR -- I want a webbrowser
built in, a mail client, maybe some games. Basically, I want the
mythical convergence box that's been talked about for a few years now.

So, it seems to me that the purpose of MythTV is to build Isaac a good
PVR. Granted, there are a lot more people than Isaac who are getting a
good PVR out of the deal, but... (And, I have no problems helping Isaac
get a good PVR--considering he's willing to let me have one, too. OK,
really the biggest problem I have with helping is making time to work on
it, what with all the TV I have to watch, now. ;)
