Which PCH model are you using? Is the 110 worth the extra cost? I'm also 
interested in the motherboard they sell, but it seems over-priced to me.

Do you mean your Myth UPnP "server" is not working? I have that working, only 
problem is PVR recordings. Does your PCH work with other UPnP devices?

I'm also looking at the Neuros box. The Western Digital unit appears to be the 
same Roku box Netflix is selling.

One advantage to buying the Roku from Netflix is you can complain to them if 
it doesn't work. I've also heard that Netflix is throttling feeds 
to "unofficial" devices. The conspiracy theorists seem to think Netflix is 
giving priority to X-Box users due to pressure from MS, not sure I buy into 
that one though.

I have a MediaMVP I might try, but that would mean no HD. I've heard rumors of 
an HD MVP. I'd like to support Hauppauge because they seem to work with FOSS 
people willingly.

My DSM-520 is just too unstable to give to my 80-year-old Mom, it also has an 
annoying tendency to lose color.
