MythTV vs MCE, in pictures

Cool

This is slightly outdated, in that the screenshots for MCE look like they're from the original version, but I'm mentioning this if only for those unfamiliar with MythTV can see it is a very comparable (and FREE as in beer) operating system.

Unlike an MCE Extender where you can at least use Transcode 360, what's to save you if a new codec comes out that this player doesn't support?
