Because I haven't installed it properly yet, am testing on my workhorse -
3ghz Athlon, 1gb memory, GeForce3 card, so beefy enough...

I haven't even tested mp3 playback yet, just video and still images. It's
mainly a problem in trying to FF/RW a video file, and just navigating
around
can be real slow (especially if you have started playing something and
still
try to navigate). Some of the lack of speed was the pc software, but the
rest I think is the firmware/hardware playing up.....

There is a linux client available but not tried it yet since my linux box
is
in pieces ATM....
I have however just downloaded the neuston software and that looks pretty
good. It can do internet radio as well as having a few website summaries
built in. Radio is nice to have, can live without web due to limitations
of
TV resolution making it a bit pointless really....
