Hello all, I've been out of the house this memorial day weekend.  It is 
wonderful to watch tv programs you when you want to watch them.  I've 
been running mythtv for 14 months without a glitch.  I'm using FC 1 
because I've figured, if it ain't broke... don't fix it.

I have an amd 2500, 512mb, 160g hd, hauppauge 250, sound blaster live, 
and a dlink usb wireless adapter to update the tv listings nightly. 
I've gotta find an easy way to archive my programs to dvd.

I also transfer mp3's from my laptop to my mythbox and use it as a juke 
box with my home theater system.  I've also used mythtv to rip my dvd's 
and use the mythbox as a dvd juke box.

Try it... you like it.

Mike
