with the recent release of MythTv .21 and in an effort to help our<br>
flagging economy ;) i'm in the process of upgrading my entire<br>
'entertainment center'. one of the big components i'll be upgrading<br>
is my A/V Receiver. at the moment, the Denon 3808CI is the front<br>
runner. i'm just curious to see what other Mythers use and why. i<br>
haven't found a receiver yet that will take input/commands via any<br>
input aside from the remote. the Denon has an RJ45 ethernet jack on<br>
it, as do other receivers; has anyone been able to get their receiver<br>
to change sound fields, presets, volume, etc. via RJ45? it would be<br>
quite cool to use LIRC/Myth to control the whole ball of wax.<br>

Can't comment on ethernet control, though. One day I plan on upgrading in order to have HDMI switching, and when I do, I'll probably stick with Denon.<br>
