*****SPAM***** RE: [mythtv-users] x-box as a frontend?

[Jeff Mottishaw]

Another option for this.. Is that buy.com has d-link 802.11b routers on
sale for $27 USD.. That's cheaper than a pci card.. ($31) also free
shipping.  Setup the router as a wireless bridge.. 

My other question is 22Mb fast enough for the frontend? I have heard of
people using wifi for their frontends but no one says what speed...

Anyone gotten the usb-wifi drivers to work on the xbox?

I tried once and blew up the kernel, it required a kernel rebuild
