Sadly, no. This is all in the pre-planning stage for me at the moment. 
I've been playing with a myth box for a few months, and now want to roll 
it out to the living room in a frontend. But as the other thread 
mentioned,  <http://www.cybergarage.org/net/cmgate/cc/index.html> has a 
linux based uPnP server -  they even mention MythTV as a media source. 
If that works, then all of these cheap low end Linksys/Prismiq/Happauge 
or whatever boxes that stream off of uPnP servers should in theory work 
as designed. If I can get the uPnP server running I will give it a shot, 
at least for the Windows boxes, because I had no success with the 
streaming web interface or the windows front end.
