The other thing about Myth TV, is that it is only *free* in that it relies on getting guide data from Zap2it. I have no idea why Zap2it provides all that data online for free, but the one thing I do know is, that without the guide data, Myth TV or any other home brew DVR is nothing more than a PC with a capture card, and that doesn't equal a Tivo or a ReplayTv.
The day Zap2it stops being so friendly is the day Myth TV users are up the creek. Whether or not you agree that the cost of the Tivo subscription (which is largely paying for your guide) is reasonable or not, at least you know you're going to get guide data, so that your subscriptions and programming searches are going to work, and match what is playing.
