Re: Crap!
said by justbits  :At least for me, it was cheaper than a comparable MythTV system. ??? MythTV is free. Unless you're talking about buying a new computer to run it on. I just run it on my existing desktop. I did have to buy a TV tuner card though. $45 on sale, if I remember correctly. The guide data is free, not a monthly (or lifetime) pay subscription like Tivo. |

Mountains | No but it takes the output of your set top box as an input...
And it pilots your STB so that it tunes the correct channel.
