This looks great :-)

I can already see a number of other uses for that - external D/A audio 
converter, x terminal (assuming I can connect a mouse) etc. :)

I don't know either.

That's what I thought as well. Their frontend looks very nice.

They have docs on how to add new video formats 
<http://update.prismiq.com/plugins/>.

As I would expect from stuff sold by thinkgeek, they seem to be quite 
open <http://www.prismiq.org> and with the Open-Source spirit. Sounds 
decent, from a quick look.

hm, maybe we could convince that company to sell prebuilt MythTV boxen?
