I just finished setting up a Myth backend with ArchLinux and it's working great. What I think would be handy would be for a company like this one to offer really, really cheap Myth frontends. Now that I got the backend going, I'd like to be able to scatter a bunch of front ends all around the house.

Check out this project to enable the Hauppauge MediaMVP thin client for use with MythTV:

They're pretty cheap, $80-90 new? You can probably pick-up a used one on Ebay for considerably less and try it out.

Pretty cool. I was not aware of that project -- thanks, Pat! I may have to give it a go.
