xbmc could probably be extended to add minimal amount of mythtv support. mythtv records the shows in a "nupple video" format so that it can be streamed. it is an open source format and could probably be integrated into xbmc in the same manner that relax and smb have been. xmbc could also do some mysql queries to retrieve the tv show names and so you would essentially have a quick and dirty mythtv front end. for those who know mythtv - this would be only the "play recordings" item and nothing more.
this would be invaluable for people that have mythtv systems running because it really is a pain in the butt to load up linux and then load mythtv in order to watch recorded shows on the xbox. a very simple front-end like i described would be incredibly useful.
if i were more experienced with c++ i'd do it myself, but it's out of my scope of ability.
