[mythtv-users] LIVA frontend .. one last question

[Scott Lipcon]

The Liva X comes with a bunch of international power supply adapters,
including UK, so it should be just fine.

I can't comment on how other players work - i've had some issues but as you
said nothing has been unsurmountable, and the price is right for a small
silent frontend.
