Hi Richard, I would assume since Myth can rip dvd's and place them on the system for viewing at anytime that I could build one of the myth systems with no cable or channel access and have it simply see all of the rsync'd content as recorded content..?
I would think that the ability to send files from one unit to another (much like I do with my replay TV units) or to 'buffer' a certain amount of the program for playing back on another unit would be very helpful thing to have, at least in my case :-) On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 15:28:07 +0100 Rickard Olsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Richard J.
