[mythtv-users] Using MythTV and PPV

The hotel is an upscale hotel on an island outside of the US. We're looking
at hosting the PPV content locally. We've done some small MythTV projects
for homes and I thought that it might be a good base for this system. The
~$200 cost for the front end would be OK especially considering it could
provide other functionality as well.

Thanks for the responses and if anyone else has input, I'd appreciate it!

There are hotels ($/night) and there are hotels ($$$/night).  I don't
know what's being discussed here.
