<div>> Someone offered a mythTV demo? That sounds fascinating since all I have<br>> ever read about that is that it's nearly impossibly difficult!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is a common myth (pun not intended) for that last few version I have not had any issue (but maybe I've been lucky).</div>
<div>April may be a bit tricky for me but May or June would be better.</div>
<div><br>Given the nature of the hardest part of mythTV is installation maybe it would be a good opportunity for our first install fest.</div>
<div>That way we can deal with different configurations and answer questions and solve problems as we get to them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This would be especially useful if anyone has an abandoned PVR project.</div>

<div>Thoughts?<br> </div>
