FWIW, I am using MythTV as a PVR (only analog cable ATM).
But - my frontend (the one connected to the TV) is a MAc mini (PowerPC
G4).
This (the Mac mini) also works as a media player, getting media content
from a FreeBSD file server (using Samba). I am using VLC on the Mac
mini as the media player program.

Decide for yourself if my solution counts as a FreeBSd solution. It
works for me. :-)
