LCDproc lets you have several clients connected to the same server/LCD 
panel at the same - it just rotates between each client. You could run 
lcdproc on your MythTV Linux box as a separate process and have it 
report things like uptime, CPU temperature, fan speed, disk usage, etc. 
You can also have an lcdproc process running on a different server 
reporting the same things. I had a pre-existing system on my main server 
with a 4-line display, and just pointed the MythTV LCD setup at it, and 
now it displays everything it used to display about my servers as well 
as the MythTV info.

4 lines is definitely useful.
