[mythtv-users] Zaurus + WiFi + MythTV Frontend...

Why not use MythWeb ?
Perhaps with a PDA specific layout so that any kind of PDA + WiFi can be
used to control mythtv.
I was thinking about doing something like this after I get my mythbox up
and running.

Ok.. but it has wifi... why not control mytv through telnet or some
thing... I cant imagine it would be too difficult to develop something
that translates telnet traffic to keypresses or sends strings to a
serial port (physical with an external loopback, or logical) to be
received by lirc.

Could still make an awesome graphical remote
