Because the RPi is a piece of junk, with less CPU power than a low-end frontend<br>
when MythTV was first released 10 years ago. It's designed to be dirt cheap<br>
above all else, with all kinds of hardware compromises along the way. You have<br>
a big GPU to make up for the shortcomings in the CPU, but with no X support, it<br>
would require a substantial amount of effort to port the UI to it, and there<br>
have been far too widely mixed comments on how well it runs XBMC to call it a<br>
"champ". I would at least choose one of the readily available Cortex boards as<br>
a standard.<br>
