My I-O Data AvelLink player is arriving tomorrow (http://www.sturgeonfamily.com/2005/06/my-new-cheap-hd-frontend-for-mythtv.php)! I'll post something on my weblog as soon as I have a chance, but for me it seems like the absolute best HD frontend option ($249.00). The Buffalo player was an option, but if memory serves me right, it's around the $400 neighborhood. -- John Sturgeon <>< http://www.sturgeonfamily.com/mythtv.php _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
