I don't currently have a MythTV setup (I did played with it a little bit in the past when I was still in Vietnam, ~2yrs ago ( http://i40.tinypic.com/15yuft3.jpg for your viewing pleasure -- sorry for all the messy stuff it is a guy's room room anyway :-) so I don't really know how mythTV advanced over 2 yrs. But 2 years ago it was hard to setup and configure, I don't say it was impossible to do that, but it's kinda clunky and messy and it does even requires MySQL server to be installed, which was kinda odd.
On the other hand, I do currently have a Xbox Media Center installed on my good old Xbox, and from my experience, it does just *anything*, from streaming youtube to connecting to samba shares, and takes just a matter of minutes to set up. So I don't really know what your requirements are, but if you want to have a media center that will stream (not record) your shows/video/music/weather/youtube you'll find yourself absolutely in love with XBMC. Btw it is just my experience with XBMC on Xbox which is its native platform, I don't know how things are going with the linux port, but I guess it should be stable enough so that the boxee guys could even fork it to for Mac and Windows. - Huan T.
