[ale] myth without tv part

[JD]

I had that same issue with MythTV.

XBMC is an easy to use (relatively) front end that may be worth your 
time.  Last weekend the DC404 guys did a fairly extensive demonstration 
and how-to presentation on XBMC and a few other tools entitled The Most 
Awesome Vegan Mediacenter 
<http://dc404.kaos.to/page4/files/Awesome_Vegan_Mediacenter.pdf> .

I spent a few hours setting XBMC up yesterday on an Eee - just the XBMC 
stuff, not all the other downloading (sickbeard and SABnzdb) stuff. I'm 
hooked.

I've seen where some folks use MythTV to record and XBMC to playback in 
a wife + kid friendly way. I'd like to have MythTV do the recordings too 
... someday. Ah, someday.  For now, I'll just push the content into the 
TV folders and movies into the Movie area that XBMC understands.

I'm ignorant on MythTV's magical internal workings and want to 
understand too.
