And my point is that someone technical HAS to set up MythTV and that  
person should change the menu theme that is appropriate for the end  
user. It makes little sense to set up a system for someone and then  
say, "Yeah, it's complicated with lots of options you don't want but  
that's the way it came so... Good luck!" instead of also changing the  
menu theme and saying, "This is a bit easier for you to understand.  
All the options you want to use on a daily basis are on the front menu  
with the ability to navigate deeper to find the rest of the stuff you  
might want to use."
