And extra storage! I have that XBox Xebian disk image, and it's all  
fine and dandy if you want to use the available version, but don't  
count too much on upgrading it. At a petit 985 MB of usable storage,  
you'll have a tough time finding enough space to compile the thing.  
So, as painful as this will sound, you might actually have to build  
it from scratch, or just make a new Xebian disk image (>1 GB) and  
then install the MythTV Debian packages (so as to grab all the Myth  
dependencies), then build Myth from scratch.

Good luck!
