With the UPnP support in Myth now, I've been considering that use of HD 
capable UPnP devices like the Pinnacle ShowCenter 200 
(http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Digital+Media+Adapters/Digital+Media+Player/ShowCenter+200_

It retails for like $300 but for an HD device, it is a decent example.  
Given the CPU and/or video requirements of an HD PC, it isn't a bad deal 
especially considering it is probably dead quiet.

That being said, I've never tried the device.  I've just used my Nero 
MediaHome software on XP to view my UPnP content from Myth and found 
that works nicely.
