<br>> Roku. In fact, it has a YPrPb pass-through, to allow you to continue using<br>> your standalone DVD player. Although, if you "rip" your DVDs to a file<br>> server, then the Roku's network media player capabilties come into play (and
<br>> you can eliminate the annoying ads, warnings, remote lockouts, etc).<br><br><br>I was unaware of the YPrPb pass-through on the Roku, does MythRoku<br>support the pass-through?</blockquote><div><br>I don't have the Roku device (yet), so I can't answer that for sure. But, MythRoku is just an app running on the Roku. You can still use all the Roku's picture and audio features, so I assume you can also still use the pass-through.
<br></div><br>Roku has a good user forum on their www site where I am sure you could get a definitive answer. <br></div>
