[mythtv-users] MythTV on XBox

[Joe Votour]

As another poster mentioned, you'll definitely want to
check out the site of MythTV on XBox,
http://bit.blkbk.com/phpBB2/ .

That said, the frontend (mythfrontend) will definitely
run on an XBox, and the picture quality is very good
(I'm watching TV using MythTV on my XBox right now).

No video card needs to be added to the XBox (one
couldn't be anyway), but you'll definitely need
another PC as a backend.  It is quite possible that
there might be USB capture devices for the XBox, but
it just wouldn't be practical.

Whether or not you can play games depends on how you
modify the XBox.  If you reflash the TSOP with the
Cromwell BIOS, then you won't be able to play XBox
games again.  Using a modchip or the software mod
allows you to, but then you might still have a problem
with XBox Live (as in you might get banned).
