You can definitely use a wireless laptop to either view or control the PVR. I do this currently. I've got my main computer hooked up using a generic TV capture card and recording the shows on its larger hard drive. It also has TV-out via a Matrox G400 to the TV in the same room. I can then use the laptop as a mythfrontend when I'm downstairs, and use it to control playback of movies and other recordings when I'm upstairs near the TV (but working on other things). Kevin.
