I think the majority of these boxes stream off of a Intel standard uPnP "Media Server"... so if a Myth Backend box can emulate that, they would just work as deisgned (though not as an acutal myth frontend). I recall someone working on a uPnP server for linux...

intresting.. anyone using this? or at least attempted?
I just bought an HP x5400 (re-branded version of the Linksys box) and while I've yet to run it I do know that it runs an embedded version of WinCE and talks to a Windows XP MCE server using Remote Desktop Protocol. There may be more to it than this.
I've yet to poke under the hood to see what may be done with it outside of the MCE environment, and a Google search doesn't turn up anything on the subject.
In many ways it's the ideal "media" front end - fanless, built-in 802.11a/g, composite, S-Video and component out, remote control, and only $260 from Amazon.
Has anyone done any more investigation of these boxes?
