We have DTV receivers all over (unfortunately, the multi room viewwing
beta they rolled out a couple of months ago killed my shot at
completely replacing them with MythTV), and I use mediatomb to
transcode for them and the PS3s.  If the damn DTV receivers would
handle over 8k streams, I could stream mythtv (hdhr) recordings right
to them...

I was digging through the myca site from earlier, and noticed the 2
versions.  Do you have the white or ion version?  I am kind of scared
to try one since digging through their forums is nothing short of
reading complaints of lack of support.  I really do not care about
that if the product works well though.  Both models seem video capable
though, and the Sigma 8635 seems capable as well..
