<p>Indeed! The initial Myth config/setup can have some frustrations and take time. The better you know *nix, the easier it is.<br>
It is a hobbyists system, not an end-user system. For example, last year when I set up a pvr for my mom, it wasn't myth; I used Windows 7 Media Center and still used the HDHomeRun (dual tuner model)<br></p>
