Much I've enjoy playing around with MCE, it's going to be a long time

it replaces my Tivo.  MCE is nice, but it doesn't give all that much extra,
and certainly not for the money.  For me, it's main advantage is it's
novelty/gadget value at the moment :-)   (Oh yes, and it means I can escape
into my Home Office and watch TV while the misses thinks I'm working...
That's always a nice feature).
