Hey fellow Misterhouser, I see your name all the time on the misterhouse 
list. I have been running it for years now. I have the same problem with 
Mythnotify, it does not display while not watching tv. I have been 
thinking about trying to write something in the frontend that will just 
display a popup qt box that will do the same while in the menus.
