It’s finally there. As of late last night/early this morning, MythTV 0.25 is finally available officially. After a mere “516 days (that’s 1 year, 4 months, 30 days)” according to the developers, a new version is available.

I recently heard that the trend of dedicated home theaters in new homes is going down. That’s too bad.

It looks like YouTube is pondering other ways to make money. I’m curious if a subscription to a specific “channel” is something that you guys would pay for.
