Yes, MythTV is HD capable and can upscale standard def to HD. I think it'd be unlikely to work over wireless 802.11G.... it may be possible, perhaps with N and I would think would be ok on 100/1000 ethernet. There's not a lot of point on the UX as it only has a 4.5 inch screen though.
Well I am setting up an entertainment center (either mythbuntu or mythTV). What I am dying to know is how powerful do the front/back end system needs to be? I will have a server type box (backend) feeding HD content to he frontend boxes. how powerful does each box needs to be? thank you.
I run a MythTV frontend on the UX and stream the TV over my 802.11G network from my MythTV backend. It works all over my house. I also have lower quality streams that I can watch remotely on the Internet. Hope that helps.
MythTV is a linux application that turns a PC into a Media/TV/PC etc. All i've done here is prove it can run on a tiny handheld computer like the UX. If you want something similar in windows, you could try ORB?
Hey.. I dont know exactly how you have your system rigged up but are you streaming all of that data over a wifi connection? If so that is pretty impressive.
Yep all streamed over 802.11G. It works flawlessly around 90 per cent of my house.. but it does start to glitch if I move too far away. It only really becomes a problem when I try to use it from the Garage or the garden. WiFi works fine for just surfing out there, but not TV! (I have fitted some higher gain omni-directional antennas to both the MythTV Backend and the 802.11 AP, both around 8-9dBi I think). The UX itself,as you can see, has a standard internal antenna only.
Can you get HD content on a frontend system (wired or wireless)?

How did you get TV on it?

Its pretty much flawless on the UX... unlike my camera work (marginally hindered by being filmed on a mobile phone).
