Nah, I think its still doable.

On the flip side of that coin, I've heard from tons of people who said mythtv was their first venture into the linux world, and have been successful following my docs. There are definitely some places you have to say "no, that hardware sucks, don't use it", but within those constraints, I don't think its so bad.
Tivo had the right idea: o Here is the box. Plug it in. You have no choice. Choice, for the uninformed, unknowledgable (yes, and stupid) average consumer, is bad in a lot of ways.
True. That's reason number one I tell people to get an nvidia card and use the binary driver if they want things to go smoothly. We could certainly nail things down even further from there, with some minimum hardware spec requirements to be admitted to the installfest...
