[mythtv-users] What's everyone think of this device?

[Stelios Valavanis]

yeah but if they're deciding on the host windoze box then they're pushing more 
data across the wlan. uncompressed that's got to be at least 6mbps which is 
unreasonable. i bet they're decompressing on the box. they could be using an 
asic for it.

mythtv diskless front-end is almost as cheap (buy a lindows box for $199) if 
you don't count the work to set it up.
