[mythtv-users] Invisible Myth Box

[Mike Geisterfer]

Can I add a question to this thread....

         Is there someway to get the temp to be displayed via LCDProc 
within MythTV?

         I'm presently using lm_sensors to monitor temperature remotely 
(gkrellm). But I'd
         love to see the CPU/MB temp on the VFD Display when I press a button.

         Any ideas?
