you probably have a point here ;)
there are a few small things that the official 0.20 release does not have but considering that liveTV playback is screwed in my system, I will fall back to a more stable version.

Isn't svn the testing/development branch? I imagine it would not
function properly all the time. Given that it's a testing branch,
perhaps a detailed bug report would be more constructive. Is there any
reason why you have to run svn? Particular hardware support? A must
have feature? I've been running myth since 0.5, never really had a
problem with it outside of the occasional bug. But then again I've
always ran a stable version. Perhaps a regression to the 0.20 fixes my
be advisable.
