David,

Whew!  Thanks for taking the time to respond, and for
the vote of confidence!

I didn't realize this was Myth compatible.  I
definitely will pick one up for the non-HD/non-web
surfing viewing stations.  Thanks for the tip!

I spent countless hours on avsforum researching the
LP2 vs the BLT, in the end I think they are fairly
similar. But regardless, either probably won't give me
the performance I was looking for.  HD streaming
quality is superb, but the slowness from the
server-side UPnP stuff is not acceptable... and, no
"LiveTV" support. Please let me know when you figure
out how to make it into a Myth frontend, I'd like to
give it a shot.


One more question for the group,

If I want two standard def tuners, any reason not to
get the Hauppauge PVR 500 over two PVR 150's?

Thanks!
Adam
