there is some work being done on using the python scripts to include mythtv integration. from what i understand of mythtv(just getting into it) you can use another mythtv pc, as a frontend to control your backend mythtv box. this would mean scheduling recordings, as well as playback. this is what needs to happen for xbmc to access mythbackend. pc's are so expensive, especially ones that match home theatre equipment looks. xbox is a cheap alternative, and when used as a myth thin client, man can it do some amazing things. i am just getting into free to air, or dvb-s, and if you look here:lyngsat fta you can see how much free stuff is comign down already. you just have to tune in to get it. i have a nexus-s card on the way, to set up wiht a mythtv pc, and i plan on getting my 2 xboxes working with it one way or another. this sounds like a great sub project for xbmc.
