Mee too. :-)
I try to help out where I can, testing stuff, filling out PR and so on.
Th main challenge for me (and for many others I guess) is to find enough
free time for these things. Well, winter is coming here in Norway,
hopefully this means that infoor / home activities will increase. :)

Me too. At the same time, I really wanted to try out MythTV and / or
Freevo, and had a spare machine. Installing KnoppMyth on it was easy,
getting it all together (ie. my hardware including the PVR-500 card)
took a bit more effort. And lots of reading.

Sounds quite like MythTV.
