5. Use MythStreamTV and stream programs from your mythtv backend to a
client like VLC on Windows/Linux/Mac
6. Roll up your sleeves and work on the last bits of porting required
to compile MythTV under Cygwin and provide a "real" MythTV Windows
client
7. Upgrade from Winblows to Linux and run a native mythfrontend. Use
the money you save on software licenses to build a RAID hard disk
array for MythTV.
