The supported formats reads a lot like the Popcorn Hour. The small size
would be nice for a number of people I'm sure. I wish it had DTS playback
(without passthrough). For places I would want a small box like this, I
don't have an amp to connect it to. Looks like a nice box though, if it
could run mythfrontend, it could be a winner.
