I personally dislike using a browser on my Myth box for anything. I do have a wireless keyboard/mouses setup, but I prefer not to keep it out. Also, web pages are not designed for viewing on a TV screen, and bumping up the font sizes is really just an ugly kludge. For something like this ever to get significant acceptance & usage, I'd think it would have to be a 'traditional' Myth set-top interface. I know I'd find it useful. Just my $0.02. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
