The SageTv set-top box will happily play a DVD directory also (in addition to playing TV shows recorded by the SageTv DVR server software). Sadly, Google bought SageTv and shut them down. It's too bad. SageTv server + set-top-box was a really great product. I don't know what I'm going to do when it dies. I absolutely dread going to back to MythTv with a big, hot, noisy PC sitting next to my TV... -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! I am a jelly donut. at I am a jelly donut. gmail.com
