What about using vnc? I don't know what you would be sshing from, but I
assume that your in your own house so you would have a fast enough
connection to your freevo box....

Hi Remus!
You are right most likely the LCDs that you found will require a parallel
port. It's a bummer that you don't have one.
It's not that tragic since I wasn't too hot to add an LCD to my box
anyway.
However you can also find LCDs that connect to the serial port or to the USB
port but I guess they'll be more expensive. If you chose to go this route check
the lcdproc documentation first to make sure the LCD you want to buy is
supported.
I also don't have a serial port ;-)
All I do have are 2 USB 2.0 ports. Theoretically I could try to find
some working USB/parallel or USB/serial converters, but I think the
final result would look awful...
I guess I just wait for freevo 2.0 to be released and until then I'll
live with ssh'ing to the box and firing up mplayer manually when I don't
want to switch on the TV.
