PS3 is a really cranky UPnP client. I gave up on the idea of using it as 
a frontend for anything but static images and MP3 on a UPnP server, and 
then MythTV is kind of cranky as a UPnP server, so I had to disable UPnP 
on mythbackend and use Mediatomb instead - sigh. :-(

I ended up building a dedicated MythTV frontend that sits next to the 
PS3. Being a frontend, it can be rebooted, hence the Windows partition 
for games. The perfect complement for the PS3, which is now used mostly 
for BD and DVD playing, static image viewing over UPnP, and some gaming.
