Short Description
This box will find UPnP servers including MythTV with out any configuration. It will play back 480i 720p & 1080i recorded on an ATSC equipped MythTV box. It will play back on an NTSC set using composite or S-Video, or an HD set using component video. There is no digital video output. Audio is either 2 channel analog or optical SPDIF. It is expected this box will play audio files offered by MythTV's UPnP server. However, currently, the UPnP audio fix in only in the SVN version of MythTV.

Video Playback Features
| Characteristic | |
| Video Playback Quality | Playback is smooth, no stuttering and no audio sync problem. This experience is not universal - in my system, HD content (~20mbit mpeg2 streams) is prone to exactly these problems (stuttering/audio-sync with firmware as of 2/2008). System also crashes / hangs at end of video during attempt to return to main menu (this does not happen with Netgear E700 with the same backend).
(Source NTSC & ATSC MythTV backend.) |
| FF/RW Support | No, only percentage positioning |
| FF/RW at Differing Speeds | No, only percentage positioning |
| 30 Second Skip | No |
| Bookmarking | No |
Compatibility
| Characteristic | |
| Support MythTV MPEG2 Recordings | SD and HD (Source NTSC and ATSC 480i, 720p & 1080i). |
| Support MythTV NUV Recordings | Don't think so. |
| Support MythTV DivX/Xvid Videos | Yes. |
| Support H.264 Video | Don't think so. |
| Support MythTV Music (since 0.21+) | Yes (Assumed, as feature is broken in current released MythTV, isn't it?) |
| Support MythTV Photo Galleries (since 0.21+) | Maybe (Assumed, as I don't think feature is available from MythTV UPnP server.) |
MythTV Interaction
| Characteristic | |
| Customizable Menus (and in what way) | No |
| Menu Responsiveness | Sluggish, probably because UPnP over head. |
| Menu Hierarchy | By: Date, Name, Type, Channel... (I am assuming all the ways the MythTV back end presents its self.) |
Non-MythTV Features
| Characteristic | |
| Support DVD/VOB streaming | <Yes, No> |
| iPhoto/Photoshop Album Support | <No, Yes both, Only iPhoto, etc.> |
