Tivo vs MythTV (was: *pout* HDTV No Recordee....)

 > What's the payback for giving away guide data?

   It's funny you mention that.  Just yesterday I corrected the guide's 
channel listings for my local cable company.  Besides corrections like that, 
the guide needs to encourage people to code apps to their service, which some 
Mythers do.

   But this is a concern to some Myth devs.  I believe there is one working 
alternative service which has a small fee.  I'm not positive about that, but 
there's been enough traffic about this issue at time on the mailing list to 
assure me that someone is thinking about that issue.

 > Also, does the decoder/output on the PVR-350 work with MythTV?

   I use the 350's tv-out to put things out to my TV and it works great.  I've 
never gotten the mpeg decoder to work properly, but since the Hauppage 
encoders work so well when recording, CPU usage is just not an issue so I've 
never worried about the decoding.

 Regards,
