My needs are extremely simple - I use Myth for music, videos (not TV
recordings - my own movie/homevideos collection), family photo.

So basically my need is for a FE that will allow HD videos with HD
(generally speaking - HD-DTS, TrueHD, etc etc) passthrough, I also have
"some" H.265 movies that are currently unplayable owing to the ZOTAC ION
processor that can't handle it.

I wanted to dab into the airplay but i only get the sound out - no video.
However, that is for another email chain since I don't want to hijack this
one by digressing.
