[mythtv-users] Roku?

[Scott Matheson]

I have yet to get my Air2PC working in the Myth box, so I can't test a 
myth-captured HD stream, but the EFF test clip stored on my powerbook 
plays flawlessly on the Roku - at 1080i+5.1 with no futzing... (I won't 
swear to the 1080i, but it sure looks as good or better than anything 
from my SA2650 cable box. I'm running the 2.0.10 beta Roku software on 
a vanilla 100bT switched wired network). I too would love to use this 
$300 box as an additional lightweight frontend -- it's is 100% silent 
and tiny (similar in volume to mac mini but standard 1RU form factor - 
"rack ears available"). It is also somewhat expandable using CF cards 
for swap space, though I'm not sure what the memory/bus bandwidth 
issues with that might be. One of my favorite 3rd party apps for the 
Roku box is a shoutcast stream tuner. It also has a myth-like weather 
app.
