There's also the Avel LinkPlayer2.  It's a consumer product, non-Myth HD 
frontend.  It plays DivX, Real, MPEG-1/2, Windows Media, etc.  I have 
one, and as long as you understand that it's not going to run the 
MythFrontend it's fine.  You run a daemon on your mythbox called "wizd" 
which the LP2 talks to.  Basically wizd streams the file.  It also 
supports uPNP, so I have it talking to my Windows XP box as well.
