My wife feels the same way about our TiVo box.  

Now my big questions, since I can't make the meeting due to other
commitments, is as follows:

- do people use their TiVo remotes with Myth?
- anyone hack a TiVo to be a Myth frontend box?
- which capture cards work with Digital cable?  
  - does it need to be downstream of the cable box?
  

I was just at my mom's house and she has a new Sony LCD HD TV.
Realize that my mom is clueless about technology, so much so that they
took advantage of her and sold her a Toshiba HD DVD player too.
Sigh...

All she wants is a big screen so she can watch TV and DVDs.  That's
it.  Now she has to juggle three friggin remotes to do this.  A
logitech Harmony remote is in her future I think. :] 

But this just shows how complicated it can be to setup a simple
setup.  So, how do people deal with multiple inputs, remotes,
digital/analog cable, etc.

All in regards to Myth, since when my TiVo finally bites the dust,
I'll need to put something up ASAP to keep the family happy.

Cheers.
