But, it looks to be a pretty ideal platform for a front-end. For me, a small / quiet / cheap front-end like the Roku means that I could get away with using a big, loud, clunky beige box PC for the backend with a few receiver cards and tons of disk. Stick it in the basement, and view content over the network with the Roku.

It has USB though. How 'bout a Plextor ConvertX for the tuner? Add a
hub and an external drive and you've got a near-complete BE/FE system.
