Thanks Tanner. My hardware is all from around 2004 or so and the main
MythTV box is running on a dual PIII system with dual analog Haupauge
(sic?) tuners. I like this product's specs. I may need to upgrade my
MythTV box now. I really like how this thing can be put anywhere on my
network so I could have the MythTV box in a different room.

And it works out of the box with no hacking or bodging about? FTW!
