As another poster mentioned, you'll definitely want to check out the site of MythTV on XBox, http://bit.blkbk.com/phpBB2/ .
That said, the frontend (mythfrontend) will definitely run on an XBox, and the picture quality is very good (I'm watching TV using MythTV on my XBox right now). No video card needs to be added to the XBox (one couldn't be anyway), but you'll definitely need another PC as a backend. It is quite possible that there might be USB capture devices for the XBox, but it just wouldn't be practical. Whether or not you can play games depends on how you modify the XBox. If you reflash the TSOP with the Cromwell BIOS, then you won't be able to play XBox games again. Using a modchip or the software mod allows you to, but then you might still have a problem with XBox Live (as in you might get banned). -- Joe --- "Aurangzeb M.
