Based on past history on this list, you might get a fight anyway :) To answer your questions, I've been using it since shortly after 0.17 was released, and it works extremely well. It pays to do your homework on hardware imho (not that I did a spectacular job of that either ;) In fact, it works so well, I have basically retired my ExpressVu PVR, and use Myth exclusively. My only "complaint" (and I put it in quotes because it isn't really a big deal) is that live tv is much more awkward than it was on the Expressvu pvr. I find that I almost never watch anything in "liveTV" mode though - I watch sports live, but I schedule it to record and watch it from the view-recordings screen instead. I think a lot of that is a side effect of having a slow frontend (Xbox) Channel surfing is right out the window too, but then I'd pretty much stopped doing that when I got satellite TV with a proper guide anyway. MythWeb is one of the truly great accessories. Sure, it's not perfect, but I like it a lot, and my wife seems to like it better than the old PVR too.
