The main drawbacks are that seeking to find the end of commercials is pure guess-work with associated delays to re-buffer, also the audio sync seems to drift when skipping through the video

I have my plexserver running on the same server as my backend and then I have a mythtv plugin, so I can browse all of my mythtv recordings. This means that I can look at my mythtv recordings as long as I have an Internet connection on my iPad. The app costs $5 I think, but is well worth the price.

+1 for Plex.

I believe you could use it for free as I think Plex Web will run in Safari. Only the iOS apps cost money IIRC. If it worked well and you wanted the extra features of the dedicated app then you could spring for it later when it is on sale.
