Now you've got me! I said that because I fired up my old proof-of-concept
Myth box for the first time in months the other day and there were a few
things that I noticed were missing. They're mostly small things that just
work slightly better. I can't remember what they all were. One is that I
like the way it handles when you're watch LiveTV and it needs the tuner. You
used to get a message box telling you to go to the recordings menu, now you
get a funky screen overlay with an option to choose a current recording to
watch.

MythArchive seems more stable for me. It was always a bit hit and miss
creating DVDs before whereas now I can pretty much rely on it.

MythWeb has the ability to stream recordings. I know there are other methods
that work with 0.20 actually the current SVN implementation isn't all there
yet - but it's still quite impressive.

Then there's storage groups - which seems to be the killer feature for a lot
of folks, but actually I don't use them.
