The second more important issue is the legality. I have read a lot of postings about this and as far as I can see it is legal. There is no encryption on the channels. They are simply sent is a way which most boxes are unable to pick up the reception (the streams pretend to be subtitles).
All the Xtraview site says is:
"XTRAVIEW uses proprietary Top Up TV technology. You must not attempt to decompile, disassemble, modify or reverse engineer this technology."
That's fine. I didn't.
The most important issue is probably the image that MythTV wants to project. There is some fuss in the US about "all MythTV users being pirates" and this could add to it.
(btw. please try not to get too aggressive, discuss rather than flame)
