Now I'm really drooling  . I'm hoping that the latest MythTV
will fix some DVD burn issues that I still get once in a while...
I see an Alpha on FTP that is later than your post. Hope things
aren't biting you too bad.

Only if you've been bad. 
Tweaker is human's improved auto-configuration helper. It looks at your hardware and picks the best supported settings for a number of things. This helps minimize the amount of manual setup you need to do for things like capture cards and video cards.

This means that we'll have support for storage groups, right? Will setting them up be supported by the installer, or is this something we're going to have to do manually. Please forgive my naivete if this is a stupid question...

I don't see a way to have the installer configure Storage Groups for you, as each setup is unique...

There is a default setup for storage groups of /myth/tv where most existing KM systems already keep their recordings. Adding more locations is easy.

All I can say is wahoo can't wait. An I agree with the concept of a home entertainment appliance NOT a PC.

I still need to test recording a bit but so far it looks promising.

Thanks for writing the update on WIki. Looks pretty straight forward once R5.5 rolls
