[[Why Me TV?]]
With a little help from some friends, 0.3 will contain support for DVB-C. And scheduled recordings are planned shortly after.

== Why Me TV? ==

The name Me TV (technically pronounced "Mi TV") comes from Australian slang for "My TV". Hence, "it's TV for me computer" is Australian slang for "it's TV for my computer". The pattern can be followed for all instances of "My", such as "Me dog", "Me ute" and of course "Me beer".
