[mythtv-users] Slimserver, SoftSqueeze & MythTV

[stuart]

Just a little FYI:

The http://mvpmc.sourceforge.net/ project has in it both a MythTV client 
& a Slimserver client.  So if you fire both servers up on your MythTV 
box you can use them both on an mvpmc box (which is really a Happauge 
MediaMVP box running the mvpmc.sourceforge.net code).
