[mythtv-users] Crazy VNC idea

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

Aside from thinking I should be watching a Charlie Chaplin movie, 
it wasn't all that bad.  The preview was absolutely smooth, but the 
full size screen was a bit choppy.  Not unwatchable, but not exactly 
something I'd want to call a pleasant viewing experience.

This little demo was enough for my wife to give me the 
go-ahead for either a epia or pundit for a full blown front 
end that could do music, movies, pictures and games with 
support for a remote.

How is watching movies over VNC?  I doubt the refresh rate would be
very good would it?
