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).
April may be a bit tricky for me but May or June would be better.

Given the nature of the hardest part of mythTV is installation maybe it
would be a good opportunity for our first install fest.
That way we can deal with different configurations and answer questions and
solve problems as we get to them.

This would be especially useful if anyone has an abandoned PVR project.

Thoughts?
