At the very lowest end, it could supplement a mythbox by serving as a
pseudo-slave back end, recording stuff and then dumping it into the mythtv
system in a number of ways.  That's without assuming it's got any kind of
firewire support and you just use an IR blaster and some scripts to tell it
when to record what, and then scheduling it to play back into your system.
If there's any kind of decent support for transferring the files off of it,
there's a lot more potential.  I'm not seeing a firewire port or ethernet
jack though.
