"absoultely perfect"?  Even HDTV playback?

If I had an HD content to throw at it, I'd be more welcome to try, but since 
it probably takes less than half an hour to set up a VMWare mythfrontend, 
you'd think more people would bother to try it.

Step 1. Install VMWare
Step 2. Creat a new Virtual Machine
Step 3. Attach a knoppmyth iso to the virtual cdrom on the machine.
Step 4. Press power on.
Step 5. Have fun.

Anyone with HD like to give it ago?

Or tell me how to "simulate" HD?

Thanks

Steve
