AIUI, the XBox 360 won't play MPEG video via UPnP (only from DVD's, it
seems). So, you'd have to transcode all your recordings to the
Microsoft-blessed format (WMV) for the 360 to be of any use as a UPnP
client. If you happen to have MythVideo videos in the right format, you
can play them via UPnP on the 360 (but what's the point, really, if you
can't get to recorded TV?).
And, since the 360 uses about 50% more power than a PC (that can
actually run a frontend), I'll be sticking with running a real
frontend. :) (Of course, the PS3 uses about 33% more power than a
360--or 2 times as much as a PC--so it's an even worse choice, unless,
of course, you decide to take into account the 360's inability to play
recorded TV, in which case the PS3 is a better choice than the 360, but
a PC is still better than both... [fade out, stream of consciousness] )

Another plus for the PS3, it plays blu-ray.<br>
