The important features of MythFrontend for me are bookmarks and auto
commercial skipping. I'm in the market for a similar secondary
frontend (quiet, quick, and cheap). I would be interested in
purchasing any hardware that is capable of using these Myth features
(either Roku-like or PC).

My primary frontend is also the backend and I really appreciate the
speed of MythFrontend compared to the testing I've done of DLNA
browsing.
