[mythtv-users] Windows XP Assist?

[Jay Merrifield]

I was thinking more along the lines of distributed processing, like
the mythtv box would detect that the other computer was there and had
idle processing time (either through some special application or
something running on the XP box) and send certain tasks over to the XP
box to be processed. I do have my video files shared on Samba so the
XP box can work on them if told to.
