I must be having a Sunday today because I can't see the connection between
ChromeOS and mythtv nor can I find out from the Asus web site what CPU/GPU
is inside the box and whether it can boot to anything other than ChromeOS.

MythTV for me is MUCH more than TV - its News, Internet Radio, Picture
gallery, videos as well as being able to skip commercials!

I'm using my $120 quad core 7" tablet at the moment, stuff from the Sky
box is fine as are the SD channels but 1, 2 & 3 have no audio (not too
surprising!)

Cheers
