On my current windiws box I actually use 3 input devices for manipulating the tv. RF remote (ATI), mouse, and keyboard. The remote and mouse are the 2 heavily used devices. So, I really need a control panel for use with the mouse. Plus mythv does not seem to resize on the fly. A feature that gets used often on the windows box. I can change the size in the config... but my wife would complain about it all the time... I can resize the window in mplayer, but when I do it starts chopping off the picture. It doesnt resize the image on being displayed. It just shows you less of it. thanks, Aaron > >2) I would like to be able to switch channels faster.
