I guess so, too. For a CRT the G400 is great. But I expect CRTs to die in the next years. Even with kaa.popcorn integrated, Freevo 2 is only beta status. 1.8 has many cool features that need to be ported. I don't know how many people will jump on the 2.0 branch once I release pre1, but I expect it to be at least until the end of 2009 until 2.0 has all the features (maybe I'm wrong). At that time, I guess most people have a TFT. Freevo 2.0 has support for 4:3 themes but expect most themes will be designed for 16:9. Note: in 2.0 the themes scale only in size, keeping aspect. A theme for 720p works perfect on 1080p or 480p 16:9, but will not work for 4:3 outout.
