It used to be called version 1.1, but since each release will be tightly connected to a corresponding Kubunbu release, they have renamed it, so that this one will be 0704 and later there will be a 0710.
This is release candidate 1 and if no big issues show up, 0704 will be released July 30th..

The Linux Action Show, is covering different PVR options in their latest podcast - episode 48. Not exactly a complete roundup, but still…
First up is LinuxMCE 1.1 beta. They compare that to Vista Media Center and make some comments on AppleTV.
In the end they seem to prefer a pure MythTV install.
