[mythtv-users] feasibility of XBOX as a backend AND frontend

[SamS]

I have a question about the whole xbox encoding idea... does anyone know 
if the USB version of the capture device can capture at a decent 
quality?  If its usb2.0 then I'm sure it can since it has the bandwidth, 
but what usb version does the xbox have?  I'd be willing to bet that the 
version is 1.2 or something for the xbox and that you'll never get good 
video quality over a usb capture card.  Anyone know?
