The SageTv set-top box will happily play a DVD directory also (in
addition to playing TV shows recorded by the SageTv DVR server
software). Sadly, Google bought SageTv and shut them down. It's too
bad. SageTv server + set-top-box was a really great product. I don't
know what I'm going to do when it dies. I absolutely dread going to
back to MythTv with a big, hot, noisy PC sitting next to my TV...
