[mythtv-users] Can I still use an XBox as an XBox with XBoxMyth

[Joe Votour]

Well, if that's the case, then no XBox Live for me,
since I have this nice Xebian image file on the HD
(although it doesn't show up in the list of saved
games).

I can respect MS wanting to keep mod-chipped units
off, I can even tolerate them wanting to verify the
serial number of the hard drive.  But gees, they
shouldn't be rifling through the contents of the HD.

Oh well...
