Looks nice.  I've just installed it on my Gentoo backend with MythTv 
0.24.1-fixes.  Using it from an Ipod Touch 4th gen.  I can browse 
recordings fine, start playback ok.  Browse the live tv list and switch 
channels ok as well.

Few things I've noticed:
- Rotation doesn't seem to work / make any difference to the layout on 
the iTouch - always just two columns of icons in the main menu.
- The list of recordings doesn't filter out deleted recordings or live 
tv recordings
- I don't get any preview images for my recordings (assume I'm supposed 
to).  But I expect that is something I've configured wrong rather than a 
bug.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Robert.
