Are you guys using these things as UPnP renderers, or connecting in some other 
way? (Samba share?)?

Unless you can run a full frontend I don't see any way to get commercial skip.

Right now it looks like the cheapest device capable of a full frontend is the 
$199 Revo, anyone know of something cheaper, available new I mean, obviously 
you could cobble together something from used parts.
