[mythtv-users] MythTV to become obsolete?

[Shay]

Did you read the whole post?  I saw that this morning.  It states that it 
"is meant to tightly control the hardware and software that can be used, 
probably making any open-source implementation very difficult if not 
impossible."

Besides, when have you ever bought a computer component and not replaced it 
within 3 years?

I expect that the MythTV will either be gone, or completely different in 
2-3 years.  HDTV will be rampant, digital encoders will be abundant and 
MPEG9 will create 20mb movies that can easily be stored on our 2 TB drives.

But hey, if $450 is a lot of money and you want to wait 1-3 years for 
something better, by all means go ahead.  Hell, TiVo is coming out with v3 
sometime this winter.. get that and save a couple bucks.

Myself, I'm going to continue with the MythTV cause its damn fun..  oh, and 
occasional I might be able to record a tv show or something..  maybe..  ;)
