Well, the truth is, I've moved things around a bit and my Myth box is no 
longer in easy range of an RJ45 port and the fact is that 12.04 just 
isn't that hot on wireless capabilities. There's also the case that for 
some reason, it's started booting up in a subtly wrong resolution that 
causes the interface to lag horribly (it can be fixed by changing the 
resolution back but that's a bit of a bear). There's also the issue of 
lacking h.265 capability where more and more stuff is coming encoded 
that way. There's also the issue of command line access becoming 
unusable once in a while (something appears to be killing IO. I think 
it's the transcoding).
