Subject: RE: Tech: The TV Tech 'Revolution'
And an OT drift. I made an (to me) interesting discovery while playing with Vista (Home Basic) trying to do something with the network. I opened Computers and Network and saw "tv: MythTV AV Media Server" there. Double clicking it opened Media Player. It doesn't see video files I've put on Myth but it does find the videos I've recorded. Not only that, it even plays them. It sees audio files too but fails to play them - possibly it doesn't understand Ogg Vorbis files - a bit stupid if it doesn't (at least without extra work) as its got none of the mp3 patent/licencing issues and some reckon it's superior...
