You know, I got the Xbox working a few days ago, and I really dont' think its suitable for a Myth Frontend.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have an Xbox that works at a reasonable speed? I'm
not talking about HDTV or anything, just normal TV. I find the
menu's to be unacceptably slow, although when TV is running it seems to
go OK. Just don't bring up the EPG!<br>
<br>
The only thing that looks promising to me is the XBMC plugin at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcmythtv/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcmythtv/</a><br>
<br>
Saves you from booting into linux (which takes forever and no doubt
uses unnecessary resources) and it works pretty good. However, I
can't get it going with Live TV. Anyone else have any luck?<br>

Thanks for all the help.<br><br>I set up distcc to help the build process, and I mounted an NFS drive<br>from my server to get the storage space I needed.
