...another thing to consider is that this data isn't merely limited to<br>
MythTV. This isn't Tivo. You can have your system as open as you want<br>
it to be. There's no reason that you can't have read access to your<br>
media on your entire network and presented to multiple operating<br>
systems. You might find some non-Myth app or some non-Linux app suits<br>
your needs for a particular purpose better. Or you may just have<br>
some stubborn family member that refuses to run Linux. '-)<br>
