<br></blockquote><div>I know it's not quite what you are looking for, but the Hauppauge MediaMVP works really well as a SD front end. It's inexpensive and not hard to get going. It's not a genuine front end and lacks some Myth functions, but as a player I find it great. And I've just noticed someone is now working on a version for the Iphone as well!
