[mythtv-users] Recommendation for a Cheap Frontend.

[Ian Barton]

I am on the lookout for a box to use as a frontend that is cheap and 
small. I want something for the kitchen, so stuff like HD playback isn't 
important.

I already have 2 Acer Revos. I would have bought another, but the basic 
model seems to have disappeared and whereas I paid around 150GBP for 
mine they now seem >200 GBP and over specced for what I want.

I had considered a Raspberry PI, but having read several reports of 
trying to get Myth running on one, it doesn't seem quite up to the job. 
I know it's heresy (stake, firewood and matches already ordered), but 
the person watching the box in the kitchen will want to watch live TV. 
So solutions that involve a box running something that just does 
playback of stored video won't work here.

Ian.
