Heh - for me it was about the "no" factor...

	No more software licenses
	No more fighting vendors for support
	No more videotapes
	No more CDs
	No more DVDs
	No more "when is that show on?"
	No more "which remote control do I use?"
	No more commercials
	No more limits.

	I love my MythTV.

(And THAT should be a commercial...)
