Scott, sounds like you are doing what I'm thinking of doing, i.e. getting an SP13000 and making a mythfrontend. The primary difference is that I only have SD content.

A few questions, are you using the VGA port and if so what resolution are you displaying at?

There have been comments elsewhere about shadows + blurring when using the SP13000 at high resolutions (1280 x 1024 and greater) from the VGA port.... is this what you are doing and if so does the image look OK?

What problems are you having with mythtv? (dare I ask!) I've built a separate backend/frontend system running on FC4 without too many heahaches and now want another frontend.
