I have been satisfied. It cannot do channel guide + tv without
stuttering, but I do not use that, so I do not care. It cannot do the
OSD fadeaway effect without stuttering, so I disable the fadeaway effect
in the XML description for each of the OSD themes.

I have never used MythPhone (in general, I hate phones) I have no idea
whether or not it runs on the ME6000. I will take a look at it.
