You know, before mythtv I never saw any TV. For me the biggest advantage is when I have the free moment there is actually something on I can watch to take my mind off of the tortures of reality. If you just want movies, consider this, with basic comcast I'm seeing 37 pages (web based listing) of movies in the next two weeks. There are lots of movies I'd like to see, but I really don't care to spend the money on rentals, or don't really care for some of the content. TV movies are cleaner (and often funny with the dubbing), and the commercials will be editted out. There are a lot of movies I'd never think of in Blockbusters, but I notice them coming up, record them, and can enjoy them again. Even if you don't watch TV, but are interested in movies, just remember, there are lots of movies on TV, and you don't have to deal with commercials. When else will you get the chance to watch "American Ninja 5"? Oh, and Myth can rip DVD's easily. VHS can be done, though requires a bit more work on your part (still easy). We can cover that feature. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
