You have not seen the attitude yet :-) Search the archives for the F* word and you will find some gems :-) The koolaid is too srong here and if you are not drinking the same koolaid, you are ostracised. I just use myth as a DVR and I like the EPG. My linuxbox records the shows, commercial cuts and does mpeg2 to mpeg4 via mencoder. My headless box sits in garage. I'm streaming the record shows to a network dvd player (IOData LinkPlayer2) using UPnP wizd server which runs on the linux box. If I say anything more about my setup, the koolaid gang will come after me and try to punish me for not using a *proper mythfrontend* for viewing my myth recorded shows :-) > > Your response is a good example of a creative respons and IMHO > the way a list should work so thanks for that. > > Dag > > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users > _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
