[mythtv-users] OT: Your experience about Frontend-Clients

[Markus Espenhain]

Hello,

recently I worked an a S100 Client as mythtv-frontend 
(http://wiki.zenega-user.de/index.php?title=Hauptseite). The problem was 
that the integrated SCART-Connector won't work with my 
CentOS-Installation and the special driver from Intel (IEGD-Driver).
Recently I wrote on this list for help, but it seems that nobody has 
experiences with this Client because of no answers.

So I decided to move to another Client-Hardware, therefore I'm now 
searching one.

I found a lot of articles and websites about possible candidates, but 
also I found a lot of problems.

What I need is an Client-Hardware like the S100 with the following 
requirements:

- no fans in the case (power supply and prozessor)
- ideal-proves with scart-connector (working under linux)
- USB2.0 Connector for a System on a USB-Stick (bootable from USB)
- ideal-proves with remote control (the s100 had a remote control, which 
emulated a keyboard)
- network-connector (10/100Mbit)
- a easy to install client with no problems by the SCART/Video-Out

So the Hardware of the S100 is ideal for mythfrontend and it is also 
very cheap. It's a pity.

What have you in use as frontend? Please check the above written 
hardware requirements and if they fit, please write.

Thank you for your efforts!

Greets,

Markus
