But less-powerful as well? --From the FAQ: What features are missing?<br>
<br>
In no particular order:<br>
<br>
* seek in an audio file<br>
* MythTV support for scheduling recordings<br>
* Tivo support<br>
* video rewind<br>
* internationalization for the menus/OSD<br>
* real DVD subtitle support<br>
* DVD menu and navigation<br>
* build tools for use under windows<br>
* user and developer documentation<br>
<br>
And I would add: ONLY supports MPEG1/2--no xvid, mp4, H.264, FLV,
etc... <br>
