im running mythtv player on the pandora (same hw as the n900, but with 
controls keyboard/touchcreen/analog nub for mouse)
mythtv player: http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/
pandora : http://www.open-pandora.org/

although ill admit the current state of the wifi doesnt work well with 
the recording im trying to playback, but it works fine with a usb 
ethernet adapter.
A usb wifi adapter has also reported faster speeds, i just dont have one.
But initial results look promising. (mythfrontend has been compiled for 
ARM, havnt had time to try)
