Reg reader seeks living room Myth advice - can you help?

I’m no MythTV expert, but I am a Penguin lover.

I think MythTV supports DNLA (uPNP) streaming, if so you have a massive range of alternatives - any DNLA compatible hardware should meet your needs.

2 ways of going about this:

Get a DNLA certified gadget and plug it into your telly. This could be anything from an Android tablet with the MediaFire app to a Blu Ray DNLA compatible device – there are plenty to choose from.

Or get a DNLA certified telly (I can personally vouch for Sony Bravia KDE series) and stream straight across your network to your connected DNLA telly. You can do this from the TV but the interfaces are a bit clunky, or use an Android app to access your MythTV server and output it to your TV :)

If Myth TV doesn’t do this, you could probably add a DNLA server to your MythTV box – something like MediaTomb.

Not their first electric car outing

Let's not forget that Lotus developed the chassis for the Sinclair C5 way back in the early 80's - way ahead of the curve.
