For Mac users, the OS X port  of XBMC is very easy to set up and use. You
can download precompiled packages at http://www.osxbmc.com/. I haven't tried
it with my MythTV box yet but the previous builds I tried worked pretty
well. I've got XBMC running on my MythTV box running Ubuntu 7.10 but I can't
get sound or fullscreen to work just yet.
