[vdr] Re: Vdr, MediaMVP and divx..

[andreas.holzhammer@gmx.de]

you may want to have a look at the mediaMVP board at 
http://www.shspvr.com/forum/index.php

they are working on various projects, but most effort currently seems to 
go into the MythTV direction (unfortunately).
I own a MediaMVP myself and would like to use it as a VDR frontend, but 
this seems to still take some time
