true, but what about file names, etc.? you have to make sure you go through 
and have the myth recordings renamed so you know what they are when viewing 
with XBMC, not major, but an extra step.
Other than that and the xbox's inability to playback HDTV mpeg2's, XBMC is far 
superior to Myth in what XBMC does do (media playback).

It would be nice to see a proper XBMC script for Myth support though.
