One thing to keep in mind. LxMSuite is just as much about giving back to the MythTV developers as it is about subscribers getting something. A large part of what you get, is new functionality, bug fixes and features in Myth either ahead of when they would normally be done, or in many cases even done at all. The whole idea is that the community gets to actually contribute and help make Myth even better instead of just sitting back consuming.

There are a few of us (Isaac included) who have talked with the president of Technovera and know what it is he's trying to accomplish. It's *all* good for Myth.

As for the theme... It's by far the most polished and attractive of the themes out there. Given that I'm responsible for a few of them that's not just me spouting off. You *really* have to see the theme on and HDTV to appreciate it. It's no where close being as dark as it appears. And if you don't like it, or the existing themes you're prtty much left with 3 choices 1) Create your own. 2) Become a LxMSuite user and vote on the themes or 3) Stare at something you hate every time you turn on your TV.
