Yeahhhh, I guess it could be used for that but that really would be a waste of resources.  Maybe one of the original Pi's would be good for that.  Elevator Lifts and Scales are best done with $10 Microcontrollers and are really stable.  Back in the day Elevator's used "Relay Logic" to control the Elevator using Latching Relay's etc.  It wasn't until more modern days that they converted the Relay Logic Boards over to Micro controllers.  Even scales don't need computers, just a precisely calibrated spring that offers x around of resistance.  I still walk into wal-mart and find hanging scales that are spring controlled, no electronics at all.  You should do some research...  Here, let me help you with that....

  XBMC, in the last video, shows proof of concept.  In that video they are accessing the HDHomerun Live and not with a recorded show.  XBMC has no recording ability, however it does have a layer that can handle access to PVR Software (Mythbackend being one of them).  However, you still need Mythfrontend if you want to adjust schedules, delete recordings, etc.
