[mythtv-users] linutop as a mythfrontend

[Matt Rude]

I don't know if I would call $300.00 USD cheap.  You can build a nice VIA-M
system for that.

Would it be possible to make one of these into a frontend. This is fanless,
small and cheap. Would be great for beside the TV.

How cheap is "cheap"? The site gives no price info and says ordering info is
"Coming Soon".

 

It looks like it has some potential but nobody can say for sure without
having one to play with. I'd doubt that it would be capable of HD or openGL
menus unless it has some serious video acceleration, which is unlikely. It
might be able to run an SD F/E, or perhaps at least NFS mount mpeg files and
play them.
