[mythtv-users] Patriot Box Office Media Player, $89

[Brian Wood]

Hopefully not OT, since Myth has a UPnP server in it, and pretty much all Myth 
users have stored video files and may want to play them without a full 
frontend.

Someone sent me this link, wanting an opinion:

_-22219002-L0C

Certainly seems to be the cheapest unit of its type I have seen. 

As usual with NewEgg, the reviews are of limited usefulness, and somewhat 
contradictory.

Obviously I don't think many people on this list would have one, but I'm 
interested in opinions before I just order one based on the price alone.

I'm concerned about the "built-in P2P", this is not something I want, and it 
might cause it to be targeted by the content owners as a pirate device.
