[mythtv-users] MythTV vs XBMC

That wasn't very clear, but it was basically in response to Thomas 
Mashos' wishlist item on 5/7 that ripped and recorded movies and ripped 
and recorded TV should be in the same spot.  I like that recorded TV 
that I'm going to watch and delete is separate from I want to 
keep/archive.  Both XBMC and Myth do this fine, so I probably should 
have omitted it.

I'm not saying that at all - I'm just listing things currently prevent 
me from using XBMC as my main TV frontend.  If it can eventually do 
everything as well or better then I would use it, though honestly I 
don't really mind switching between the two at the moment.  But I agree 
that improving XBMC's capabilities regarding Myth is more likely than 
replicating much of XBMC in Myth, and the latter makes little sense.
