If only I could get that lirc working! i had originally planned on using an xbox as my frontend and was going to pick one up used. however my brother got me one for Christmas last year knowing that i wanted to tinker with it. i immediately chipped it and installed a larger HD and played with a couple different dashboards and XBMC. and i haven't really played with it since. :) i keep telling my wife to win the lottery so i can tinker full time. :D i just currently rebuilt my FE/BE system and am retweaking it for ease of use and added functionality. unfortunetely i'm limited on time (as are we all) and i'm no Guru so everything takes a great deal of research before i can do anything right. so maybe by this time next year i'll be in a position to start playing with my xbox again. ;) i do have one of the original Xebian distros that came with my mod-chip, but i'm looking forward to trying out GentooX or Nassas Xebian. ;) _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
