This is from the MythTV Support page:

MythTV-users
Usually less on-topic than the more technical mythtv-dev list
described below, this is a place for users to discuss hardware setups,
configuration problems, etc. It's a fairly busy list, but is the first
place that we recommend you look if you are interested in learning
more about MythTV and/or getting involved with its user community.
Here is the mailing list archive for MythTV-users.

So what's the problem here? No one has broken the rule set either
which is posted here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mailing_List_etiquette

It was posted as OT, if you don't want to read OT set your mail client
to delete OT posts... is it really really that hard?

This IS a community where people discuss things, if you want only
technical go to the DEV mailing list...
