    Aside from the heat and the plumbing, neither of which benefits much from electronic gizmos, there aren't a lot of "critical" home services.

    I use a Pi as a MythTV client. I used to use an XBox, but it was bad at it. Kodi has too many bugs on Xbox and there isn't a true MythTV client. Plus the Pi uses a lot less power. I'd prefer to use a Pi as a Wi-Fi access point, but it doesn't have much of an antenna, which is pretty much the only reason to use a "real" router over a Pi at sub-gigabit speeds (now that the Pi 4 has a real system bus instead of using USB for everything).

    What kind of pi? And what kind of antenna? Does it work for digital broadcasts? Or for cable TV (this one I don't expect)?
