What do you expect? You are on the MythTV mailing list... I for one
have never used BeyondTV or any Windows based PVR.

I bet I could install KnoppMyth on a bare system faster than you can
install BeyondTV (and Windows) on a bare system.

I've been using MythTV for over 2 years. First on Mandrake then on
KnoppMyth. It has been very stable. For the most part, I leave my
master backend running 24x7. Last month I went out of town for a
business trip that was suppose to last 1 week, it ended up being three.
When I returned, my master backend had filled up, yet the it was still
up and running!

Cecil
PS: While one can watch and record HDTV w/ MythTV, currently one cannot
w/ BeyondTV.
