I was looking at it just today, and I see that it runs a version of
UClinux.  There is a wiki  for it at
http://mvixcommunity.com/wiki/MX-760HD_Main_Page.   It would be nice
to create a mythfrontend for it, but it would require programming
experience of which I have none.  I believe it may work with the
mythtv's UPNP feature, but I do not see the unit documented in the
wiki (http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/UPnP).   I would be interested
on your findings if you do decide to go with the Mivx.
