[mythtv-users] MythTV on Raspberry PI 2...

[Raymond Boettcher]

I just wanted to ask if there was any headway on getting video support seamlessly working on the Raspberry Pi.  It seems that they just posted their latest model device that uses:
   
   - A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (~6x performance)
   - 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM (2x memory)
   - Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1

I saw the information pop up on facebook but it can be seen at:http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-2-on-sale/
The device will still maintain it's $35 price tag and now the processing power and memory requirements are more than what is needed for a Myth Frontend and maybe even a backend (depending on your configuration).  I know XBMC has plugin's that make XBMC interface with MythTV, but it would be nice to run MythFrontend natively.  This device could be put in a small box and mounted to the back of a Flat-Panel TV hints converting it to a "Smart TV" that is MythTV aware.  And for a very nice price tag at that.
