I got tired of the rather low quality cable box that AT&T Broadband
provides with their digital cable service. It's slow to change channels,
ridden with ads, and the program guide is a joke. So, I figured it'd be
fun to try and build a replacement. Yes, I could have just bought a
TiVo, but I wanted to have more than just a PVR -- I want a webbrowser
built in, a mail client, maybe some games. Basically, I want the
mythical convergence box that's been talked about for a few years now.

So, it seems to me that the purpose of MythTV is to build Isaac a good
PVR. Granted, there are a lot more people than Isaac who are getting a
good PVR out of the deal, but... (And, I have no problems helping Isaac
get a good PVR--considering he's willing to let me have one, too. OK,
really the biggest problem I have with helping is making time to work on
it, what with all the TV I have to watch, now. ;)
