Martin, I am certainly interested in continuing to tinker with these embedded devices. But I certainly don't have the free time I used to a few years ago, and I don't watch nearly as much TV, either. It would be great to see others step up and continue working on mvpmc for the NMT, or another HD platform. However, on a slightly different note, is anyone interested in having mvpmc running on an iphone? I started porting libcmyth the other day as a way to learn the SDK and objective c.
