[mythtv-users] Chat client for MythTV

[Steve Dorsey]

I totally agree.

   I use iChat (AIM) all the time - and it would be great to be able  
to open a little chat window on top of the video playback, or  
possibly place the video in a sub-window (kinda like how it appears  
when you are in the channel guide - where the video is in the upper  
corner).

   I'd love to see this feature.
