I'm on the Myth list and I've seen some references but no real  
success stories as far as a backend.

First question is what portion of Myth are you thinking of trying to  
run? The backend portion, the frontend or both?

Are you talking about Hi-Def video or just standard def?

As far as a frontend the main problem is likely to be the lack of  
accelerated video, I'd think that HD would probably be out of the  
question without it.

A lot of the problems with Myth are not Myth problems at all, they  
are problems with the underlying dependencies like IVTV, LIRC, video  
drivers and other things that Myth needs.

for "PS3" and you'll find a lot of info. Looks like at least some  
folks have a working frontend.
