interesting. Perhaps if there was
enough willing to support the Pi
with some cash, then you never now
there may be someone to take on
the challenge.<br>
<br>
I have tried Kodi, worked quite
well, but the interface was too
much of a culture change for all
of us in the house. At vote was
taken, and we all prefer the
simple familiar Mythfrontend. <br>

<div>I also tried Kodi, and while there is a
learning curve in getting used to the new UI, it's
not a showstopper.</div>

</div>
<div>The blocker for me was the slow 'skip ahead'
responsiveness. Myth Frontend is amazingly fast,
Kodi on Openelec/Pi2 was slow.</div>

<div>I would definitely be willing to pitch in some
cash if it would help move a MythTV frontend
along.</div>

<div>Given that an ECS Liva can run a MythTV frontend very
well, I have to wonder if the trade-offs in user
satisfaction and the effort required to make MythTV work
on a device that costs about half as much is worth it? <br>

And if that $80 price is for real, that is actually very close to
the real price of a Raspberry Pi: $30 for the board, $10 for a case,
$10 for memory, $10 for micro-USB cable and power plug, $10 for HDMI
cable. <br>
