I don't know how usable it would be (dvds are useless), but for grins, 
I tried to run mythfrontend, pointing it to a cgywin/XFree86 display
on my windows box (100Mbit).  It crashed instead of going slow:
(cvs after the include fix for 0.8)

Couldn't find Xv support, falling back to non-Xv mode.
* MythTV performance will be much slower since color
* conversion and scaling will be done in software.
* Consider upgrading your video card or X server if
* you would like better performance.
Xlib:  extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display "192.0.3.2:0.0".
XShmAttach() failed:: Success
get_buffer() failed (1 1073741824 2 (nil))
Segmentation fault

Should I get gdb on this or would it even be worth it?
Would adding XV to cygwin/XF86 be beneficial?

TIA,
Thor Johnson
