I really have to disagree with this post. Once Myth is properly set up, it is just as easy to use as a Tivo. It is not a far cry from punching a few buttons on a Tivo remote. Yes, Myth and the accompanying TV tuner drivers can be a pain to get set up and configured. But at least in my experience, once it's working it stays working. Maybe this is just me, but I think we're doing a disservice to ourselves and to the Myth developers by discouraging people from setting up Myth for their non-Linux-savvy friends and family.
