Thats the one I remember, I had thought that someone had said the 350 
could play the other formats. Thanks Wayne for doing all the hard work. ;)

Haha, I will gladly give you guys anything I have in way of config files 
and help with getting lirc to work with myth. I am by no means an expert 
but I have been using it since 0.13...I think. So I have run into some 
problems and have found some answers. The mailing list is great and the 
IRC channel is very helpful also. Freenode #mythtv-users if you want to 
help with development there is a #mythtv channel that is just for the 
developers. They don't like the unwashed masses of the users in the 
developers channel though, which I found out the hard way. :)

Thanks again Wayne for the posts, and I hope the weather in Hawaii is 
treating you better than the weather here in Alaska. :)
