So I tested out this evening with not pressing buttons for a really
long time while watching myth - and xscreensaver does kick in
eventually, but i can just hit a key on my remote to kill it. It just
happened to coincidently press a button each time before it would
normally kick in, be it volume

I'm not using native lirc support. I am using irxevent, now that i
realize. I still haven't had any occurences of xscreensaver kicking
in when watching TV. It might just be coincidental, that maybe I
press buttons before the end of the recording, later tonite i'll try
not pressing anything for

This doesn't appear to be entirely accurate to me. I believe that Myth
only supports DPMS. If you turn on screensavers in KDE or use
xscreensaver, the screensaver will kick in

I was about to mention it does seem that myth makes the appropriate
calls to xscreensaver consistently for me. I can watch TV without
worrying about the screensaver coming up, but when I am at the main
menu, if I just wait xscreensaver will enable, and then later my dpms
will kick in. I can even

Yeah, I know, but it would be cool there were some kind of integrated
screensaver/dashboard type functionality,

The thing I miss most from the TiVo is the Live TV buffer. The Tivo
is always recording live TV, so if you turn on the TV, TiVo has the
last 30 minutes of the current channel. I'll probably get over this
with Myth, but it's nice to start watching

I remember reading that lirc knows how to deal with the TiVo remote,
unfortunately I'm still using both boxes until I'm sure I can

None of these is a showstopper at all, and although right now I have my
MythTV box and TiVo running side by side, I'm pretty sure that
eventually the Myth box will completely replace the TiVo even if none
of these issues are addressed. The things Myth does well just blow the
TiVo away. I

Apparently that's not what lirc integration means. I guess it means
that you don't have to use irxevent to send keypresses to the program,

Hi list!
I've just finished installing MythTV and started using it, and I
thought I'd post some comments on how a long-time TiVo user.
Even though there are some things I like better about how my TiVo
works, I'm not just writing to complain. I'm interested to hear if
other people agree that
This is a really nice summary for any tivo user who's thinking about
switching, or cohabiting with a Myth box. I'm just waiting for
Tive-to-go plugin for Myth and I'll be doing back flips. I built my
Myth box 2 months ago. I feel like I climbed Everest to get where I am
today, but I love it.
