Well the xbox has been working great as a frontend for me.  I'm using 
MPEG4 software encoded video at 480x480 with no problems.  DIVX plays 
fine as well.  As for MythVideo, you will just have the same 
considerations as running any other remote frontend such as making sure 
the media is on an NFS share or some such.

One minor annoyance I have found, digital audio out works but I haven't 
been able to get mplayer to output multi-channel audio. :/
