Post subject:  Yamaha RX-V3800 or similar "network" receivers

I was thumbing through a Crutchfield catalog yesterday when I saw a Yamaha network A/V receiver (an RX-V3800) http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=558316&CTID=5000300 I had not seen products like it before, but can only imagine that it won't be long before the technology comes out of the stratosphere to a home theater store near you.

Of course, you can point it at your media server (up to 4 of them), tune in internet radio, and internet video streams. I haven't posted much, but thought I would throw this in the ring to see if anybody has put one into service or not (or something like it--besides your Knopp FE) :D

This page lists some Denon receivers that work with MythTV's UPnP:

No Yamaha ones there, though, and as far as I know the receivers that do video only do low quality streams (think YouTube), and not UPnP SD or HD files. It will eventually happen, and drop in price enough for us to buy them and then try to get them working with your MythTV backend :-)
