Yeah but even still, my "important data" vs television storage needs
are different enough that I'd probably keep them separate unless I
moved up a tax bracket or two.

This kind of topic does seem to underline the two camps that use Myth
- those who have access to old hardware for cheap or free and make a
DVR out of it for less than a tivo + lifetime that has way more
capabilities, and those who are looking to make the most insane home
media solution money can buy. Both are really interesting uses and its
nice that the same project can cater to both kinds of users.
