No, but for that price what's to lose?

There's supposedly some discussion at:

I've checked out several of the "Media Players" and "Networked media Tanks". 
They are useful, but I have yet to find one that can actually run a full Myth 
frontend. So far my Myka looks the most promising, but it's four time this 
price, and you can get a Revo for the same $199, which will definitely run a 
frontend (and a backend too, if you're not in a hurry for transcoding or 
commflagging).

I ordered one, as I said, can't pass up that price. Combined with the PlayOn 
server it should make a nice IPTV setup, and, as the OP said, it will at the 
least play Myth files via UPnP.
