Well, 20 may have been aiming just a tad low. I'd never make it in sales.
Here are the stats from linux-karma.sf.net:

- most recent release, for 2.6.25: 36 downloads since 3/16/08
- # subscribers on mailing list: 39 [1]
- most # of downloads of a given release: 252 (May-Oct 2007) [2]

[1] Some subscribers may not use the FS at all since there is also
software for using the ethernet interface. Both are discussed on
the list.

[2] I doubt that 252 d/ls translates to that many _current_ users; a
year is a long time in consumer electronics. I don't have stats on
unique IPs.

I'm unaware of ReplayTV users - one guy contacted me once and then
disappeared.

You guys would know best. I can see both arguments...
