[mythtv-users] Popcorn Hour Unit as VIdeo Output?

[R. G. Newbury]

An article in this month's Linux Journal is a review of the Popcorn Hour 
A-100 Media Tank. A paperback sized box with an embedded (linux??) 
control program, intended to play all sorts of video formats, and 
apparently capable of doing 1080p with ease, for $200.

The corporate site is at popcornhour.com. A newer unit with better 
capabilities is now available for $215.

A review is at http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/68576

This unit can stream videos, with or without an internal hard drive.

Does anyone have one of these? Could it be set up and left in a ready 
state to stream videos from mythtv...in effect as a video card?

The output capabilities of this box, *if reasonably usable with mythtv* 
could sidestep a lot of video problems.
