[mythtv-users] Setup advice

A relatively cheap all-inclusive frontend is the Roku HD1000 for under $300 - http://www.rokulabs.com, and the frontend software, mythroku, at http://mythroku.blogspot.com/.  It's by no means full-featured, but I use it for an additional frontend in the house and I get 'perfect' playback of SD and HD content. It supports composite, VGA and component video out, and analog or 5.1 digital out. I love it.

So do I make MPEG4 work?

Do I wait untill they release a new version or do you think they will
enable that with some kind of update?

Does anyone else have a setup model like mine? Do you use some cheap PC or
something? I am looking for super cheap thinclient front ends I am dumping
all the money into the back end.

So any recomendations on front end hardware is welcome. There is a new
AOPEN MiniPC (Wannabe Apple MACMini) that looks like it would work but I
am not familiar with linux hardware to say one way or another.


Thank you,
Joshua Lewis
