The only thing I can think of is using a PDA with something like XLobby (http://www.xlobby.com).  There's more
than just radio and MP3 to Xlobby too.  It can play your DVDs from an
archive server, there's been a hack to get TV working with it (although I'd
give it time to mature first), and there's talk this week of a native xAP
plugin.  Once a TV part is working properly with Freeview cards, I'll be
ditching my Tivo and moving to thin clients around the house for all my AV
and control.  I'll need to upgrade my PDA though :-/

Cheers,
Andy
