I have been researching MythTV setups and have come up with the following
hardware configuration.
 
Requirements: 
  • Backend System used as a file server, multi-media jukebox and PVR for regular TV and EDTV (eventually over Comcast Cable when the HD-3000 drivers for QAM decoding are released)
  • Connects to cheap front-end devices connected to an AV Receiver and EDTV in one room, and a regular TV in another.  Devices are controllable with a programmable remote control.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or suggestions.

Backend
Pentium 4 3.0 GHz 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache, HTT
512MB RAM
2 x 200 GM 7200 SATA HDD
2 x Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350
pcHDTV HD-3000
basic video & audio out
(Since theoretically, I could be streaming video to two front-ends, does it help to have two -350's?)

Frontend (EDTV Display, 5.1 Audio)
Xbox
Xbox HD AV Pack
Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit with Remote
(CD Boot or HD Partitioned for MythTV, HD AV Pack supports component video and optical audio out)

Frontend (Standard TV)
Hauppauge MediaMVP
