The team is walking down the road of supporting TV in XBMC, currently playing mythtv is as easy as adding source myth://user:pass@ip if you have the server set up correctly. Though theres much missing ie schedualing recordings and manage recordings in a super great way (just a big list now), but plain play of recordings and play of livetv works.
The thing we want is the crossplattform way and support a number of different backends no matter the OS XBMC runs on, so mythtv is the starting point but on trac there is a patch for media portals tv-server and at some point Im sure an osx equavilant will pop up.
