For me the solution was to not use prebuilt packages for mythtv. I build 
0.20-fixes on my combined front/back machine and all my frontends 
including my xboxes. Other than it taking an entire day I have no 
problems building on the xbox. I do remember having to manually install 
a couple of rpms to get the xebian box fully up to date. I also ended up 
pulling out most of the configure script that the origional author had 
run on every power up. I no longer use xine for playing  videos or dvd.
