[mythtv-users] Headless Myth box?

I've tried it, most things work, even video previews, but livetv/playback
locks up the whole session, and must be killed from another console. There
isn't any real reason it shouldn't absolutely work, just some
bugs/incompatibilities somewhere. Perhaps video previews don't use xv and
the above do? But a warning is produced saying xv will not be used....
