[mythtv-users] use an msnTV as a frontend?

[Karl Grindley]

just an update/report on the msnTV rm4100 for those interested.  (and to 
resurrect this thread)  Mostly everything is working now for myth 
support, (sound, X, etc)  except hardware accel in X.  Video playback 
does work, but only when encoded at the native resolution that X is 
running...  Although, I believe it's possible for this to work...  just 
needs a bit of X driver hacking, like the XBOX's nvxbox driver.  it's 
there, but could be better with some more effort.  Even still, not a bad 
box for a frontend.  Even the "XBOX record led" can be made to work 
fairly easily.
