[Cialug] DVRs

LinuxMCE is ok, but MAN is it complex!  It's probably a great setup if you
want to control your whole house with a bunch of linux pc's (and don't we
all?), but I've only got 1 pc to set up for now, and no special home control
stuff I care to hook up.  Oh and it want's to be your DHCP server/WAN/LAN
gateway too.....  It was way to much hastle, and you still have to get
mythTV working, so I just slimmed down to a regular mythtv setup.
