Some other things you might mention:
-Ability to configure the frontend to have a multitude of different
themes. Can really make your box "stand out" as opposed to the more
generic Tivo/Replay themes
-Ability to add multiple capture cards to record 2, 3 or more shows at
a time. The most I've ever seen on a store bought box is two
-Ability to put it whatever casing you want. Can make it look much
nicer in the living room
-Full customizability. Only does what you want
As for a comment:
I love that MythTV gives me the power to control what I want to watch
and gives me more control over the interface than any commercial
product. How many other people can record 3 shows at once, and watch
whatever they've recorded in any room of their house?
