Does the PCH allow you access to the underlying Linux OS? The Myka has telnet 
access, an ftp server etc. and is basically "hacker friendly".

The form factor is certainly great, and so far it has been able to play 
anything I have thrown at it. At $199 it's a little more than the PCH, but 
not by much. I get access to Netflix by using PlayON, and can access Myth via 
its UPnP server. No commercial skip, but ultimatelty I'd like to see a Myth 
F/E running on it, even if it has to be a stripped down version.
