Any single source of correct, concise and timely information is a bonus in my book. If detailed information on the (inner) workings of MythTV existed outside of the source I'm sure a lot of users could self-medicate and resolve or understand their MythTV problems. If a user such as Jens wants to spend _their own time_ writing such a resource, all credit to them for taking the initiative. A couple of the key problems with the fora and Google from the perspective of newer users include: i) the sheer volume of information to search through - it's sometimes not even immediately obvious what search terms you need to use in order to get the most fruitful results. ii) the 'misinformation' that they may include (I've been put in that bracket too - only by trying to help out fellow users when useful information doesn't exist). I don't think a lot of the misinformation is written intentionally either, it's usually a user wanting to help a fellow user but not having the same level of comprehension as the devs. I'm looking forward to the books to be released in the future on MythTV and hope they can provide some of the much desired information on some of the lesser documented features.
