My original plan for the house was to use one of the EPIA systems as a frontend in the bedroom.  This may still come to pass if I can't get what I want out of the mediaMVP.  The mediaMVP can be found for $100 or less depending on where, so it's significantly cheaper than the EPIA, albeit not as powerful.

I'm convinced it will be possible to get much of the functionality of myth to work with the mediaMVP, but it's going to take some hacking.
