[mythtv-users] Cheap frontend for christmas

[digid myth]

The best deal I found is the ECS Liva, I just got done building one and it
seems to be working well. New Egg has/had them on sale for 109.00 2 Gig ram
and 32Gig storage is built in. I loaded up the latest Mythbuntu and have
had to make a few tweaks here and there to get it to work 100%. I will
publish my results when I get a few more days of use on it. All you have to
add to it is a remote. I am using it with wired ethernet and I understand
that there are issues with the wireless.

The cheapest thing that I found so far. I ordered two more this morning and
plan to upgrade every front end in the house with them.
