Of course this would be stealing and it's not as straight forward as you make it sound. After a little googling it's made apparent that you do need a key from you card which is regularly updated.
I'm curious which unit were you in 8 or 9 years ago? Admittedly my contact with the "regular" Army has been few, far between, and very breif, but less than "8 or 9 years ago." I've seen plenty of M60s being carried as far back as 2001. I don't doubt you just curious. Also, how often and why, is the 249 used as a crew served weapon?
When I served in the special operations community, as an Airborne Ranger, there was a rumor going around that the M60 placed 6th during testing but was chosen because it had ties to American companies. The 240G and later 240B were solid reliable weapons, you could practically hold a belt of ammo, pull the trigger and watch the weapon climb its-self up the belt. Admittedly I've used the M60 very little but I remember that you had to feed the ammo in just right, parts fit in more than one way, and failed quite often. This pretty much puts the final nail in the M60s coffin and confirms my believe that they were always pretty much crap. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who used the 60 and 240 extensively.
I don't have an HD card yet but I think by law they have to provide freeview channels un-encrypted via firewire. You can always ask on the mythtv-users mailing list.
Gosh, I was just about to ask where you where... then I refreshed. There's always one who has to point out that what their using already has this feature. Oh yeah, MythTV and mythweb are working fine for me.

Wait, are you talking about the cost of a new dual-core mac mini or an old Xbox going on ebay for ~$130?
