Thanks for the update.  Also in that blog entry: CEC support.

CEC is a standard that lets devices share control information over
HDMI.  Most video cards don't yet support it but the Raspberry Pi
does.

My first clue about CEC was when turning off my TV also truned off the
BluRay player.  Second: turning on the BluRay turns on the TV.

The blog entry has a video showing how the remote for another device in
the video configuration (AVR?) is able to control XBMC on the
RaspberryPI, strictly through CEC over HDMI.  Nice.

I don't remember if Raspberry PI will run MythTV well.  Perhaps it has
too little RAM.  Last I checked, XBMC no longer worked well as a
frontend for MythTV.  So I don't know the best ways to use Raspberry
PI as a myth client.

Rephrasing that last paragraph as a question: does Raspberry Pi work 
reasonably as a Myth client?  If so, how?  If not, are people working on 
it?
