I have a samsung captivate which will connect to mythtv's UPnP server via
the program "allshare".  I assume that this program would be available in
some form on their larger products, and *should* work the same.

As for other clients I have in use: (Which I have posted before and need to
add to the wiki.)  I have an LG Blu-Ray Disk Player and a Sony Blu-Ray Disc
Player.  The LG connects to the myth UPnP directly, but the Sony will not.
 I use mini DLNA  to share content to that player.  If you cannot get
anywhere on the root of the problem, you may want to give miniDLNA a try.

Works for me.
