Post subject:  Verdict on MediaMVP Front End

I am interested in hearing from those that have the Hauppauge MediaMVP front end: especially lessons learned and limitations.

I used to run a MediaMVP front end.

Pros:

* true MPEG2 hardware decoding, so you get properly interlaced playback of MPEG2 recordings from the S-video or composite outs, no deinterlacing/reinterlacing needed.
* very small, completely silent

Cons:

* not a full-featured MythTV front end
* no HD support
* only plays MPEG2 recordings, no Xvid or other codecs
* requires lots of server setup with tFTP, DHCP, etc.

I'd say it'd be an OK solution for a guest room or hooked to an old TV.
