Thank you Mike.

MediaMVP solution looks interesting. I need to check it out.

Is it based on the same Conexant chip (as in the PVR family) plus the 
PowerPC?
Or is it based on a PowerPC STB chip. I remembered that IBM used to make STB 
devices that were based on the PowerPC with built-in MPEG2 decoder hardware.

With the newer more powerful STB devices like Philips Nexperia, we should be 
able to build a complete embedded MythTV PVR like the Tivo. Wouldn't that be 
cool!!


Tom
