Is there a guide out there to setting this up?  I have never heard of this,
and would love to stream netflix to my mythbox.  I do have 1 windows box in
my house (runs our skype phone in/out, couldn't get the usb to phone
attapter to work with good sound quality in linux, so used one of my
laptop's windows licenses for it) so I could run this PlayON thing on that
right?  Does the PlayOn take a lot of processing power?  Is it free?  Do I
have to set up something specific in myth to watch this stream (I have a
revo 1600 for 1 frotnend, a AppleTV for mysecond (can't wait for CrystalHD
since no VDPAU))?  And do I have to control the stream through like xvnc on
my laptop, or will the remote be able to send commands to the PlayON server?
