MythTV on AppleTV running Linux - HD playback is possible

Apple Movie TrailersI’ve had a few posts in the past about MythTV on AppleTV. They have all been about a solution where AppleTV is running OS X or whatever the stock AppleTV OS is called.

The other option is of course to have AppleTV run Linux and then run the MythTV frontend on that.

From what I have seen, only SD playback is possible with AppleTV running OS X, however, this thread indicates that HD playback is indeed possible when AppleTV is running Linux.

There are still a few things to sort out, but if that is done, it’ll be a very nice HD frontend.
