I'm in such a hurry right now, I'll ask better questions later...  For 
now: many of us who use mythtv hesitate loading up the SVN version.  The 
released mythtv is difficult to stabilize to the point of general user 
acceptance.  In my case, I've over a T-byte on MBE/SBE machines yet the 
ReplayTV is still the preferred PVR.

Has anyone dealt w/this issue here and resolved it?
