Of course, and over time Myth will get better. I suppose I shouldn't have said "the only reason" because what I really mean is "The only reasons that would justify the high degree of hassle required to run Myth." As nice as the above features are, it's hard to justify the pains we see people experiencing on this list in order to get them. And you can archive Tivo recordings if you hack into the Tivo, which while complex isn't as much work as getting Myth up. Features f and i are pleasant but minor. (h) can be had for $80 with a MediaMVP and less by other means. You can easily add capacity to the Tivo, I have done so. DVD jukebox doesn't appeal to me that much, though I know it appeals to some.
