Neuros Technology did it again: one more of their interesting media products hits the market, and this time it uses Linux. We used the Neuros OSD this past week and here's what we think about it.

It can mount NFS shares, but not from the GUI. You have to do it manually by telnetting into the box. If you use NFS, I'm sure you're skilled enough to do it 
It also supports SMB shares, straight from the GUI.
You can playback and record to both (assuming permissions are ok on server side, clearly).
As for the MythTV, there's no explicit support for it right now. Suggestions on new features are always welcome, though.
For that, you can use the Neuros mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/Neuros-DM320Hardware or the forums from the main Neuros site.

So I've read the review and some of their site, but I still have a couple of questions, mostly about integrating the OSD with MythTV. Sorry if the answers are in plain view, but we like to discuss tech anyway, right?
- Can it grab videofiles from an NFS or Samba share? It has a LAN connection, right? This way the OSD could function as a sexy frontend. It's certainly more attractive than the barebone I use now. The downside is not using the recording capability (unless it can also record to the NFS share, of course), but it's still not very expensive.
- Could it actually be configured as a slave backend to MythTV?
It reminds me of the squeezebox (with which I'm very happy).
