Wow, seems really good news. But, as a newbie that I am, I should ask: how are we gonna be allowed to watch cable TV if we don’t have tuner cards for the tablets? Or: what could we do with MythTV on our tablets?

Thank you very much, yani. Certainly when available it will be one of my favourite apps. Gonna install MythTV on my CPU. It just gets tablets even better.

Hmmm. regarding Yani's comments about using the backend and usb tuners, and hoping to compile for the 770. Before I got an 800, I had a usb hard disk working with my 770 for music storage.
If the backend does work with the 770, a fun experiment would be to modify a powered usb hub with the power injector fix, and hook up some usb tuners, and a large 3.5" disk in a usb enclosure.
If it worked, it would make a fantastic low powered backend solution.
Obviously we would need MySQL as well - don't know if that's been ported yet, or how easily it would compile. USB-DVB V4L drivers shouldn't take too much work though should they?
I have given serious consideration to seeing if I could get Samba and NFS working so I could use my 770 in the style above as a NAS for my network.
I am sooo looking forward to running mythfrontend on my tablet.

The n810 and n800 have USB host support, and there are a lot of USB ATSC/DVB digital tuners that would take no CPU power at all to record off, so I was thinking there is the possibility of using one as a light-weight backend. There are also some SD MPEG2 encoding TV tuners (like the PVRUSB2) that would work well.
Really I'm hoping I can port the backend to the n770 and use my old n770 as a lightweight slave backend, but I'd have to use a powered usb hub for sure with the 770.

Hence I'm working on porting mysql5 or at least 4.1 if only for the newer libmysql15 to build mythtv against instead of libmysql12.

Quick update - I've ported mysql 5, and the project has been created. I'm uploading the mysql port now, and I also have to figure out how to create a repository.

Thanks Yani.
Will there be a mythtv package, or do we need to download and compile from source?
thanks Gaz
EDIT: just rechecked, and there is more packages iin the garage - ignore my impatience!

I've posted some binaries! See more in this follow-up post:

I'm going to try mpeg4 anyway, but I don't see it working. I'm not surprised that I need to do some porting of the XV code, but it would have been a nice surprise if it had worked off the bat!
