[mythtv-users] This box is screaming to be a MyhTV Frontend! Off the shelf PC STB

[Andrew J]

"Internally, the player is a circa-1999 PC, heavily customized. Akimbo 
uses Windows CE.Net for its core operating system, rather than embedded 
Linux, which seems to be more widely used. The unit houses a custom 
motherboard with an Intel 815G chipset, a 733MHz Celeron processor and 
64MB of SDRAM."

Standard PC board, 80gb HDD, RAM is upgradeable to the looks of it!

Built in TV out, Digital out, networking and USB for wireless in a nice 
sexy STB looking size! Not too badly priced at $299!

Now to get some MythTV support behind it. Links are
