I'd really like to build a linux xbox mythtv frontend. Although I've read there are issues with the version 1.6 xbox.
I'd really like to use the software method described at www.xbox-linux.org, because it sounds simpler and more reversible if I make a mess of it. Although it sounds like the version 1.6 xbox won't support this. I'd really like to buy an xbox, but I don't think I have any way of knowing what version of xbox I'm buying unless I actually look at the serial number on it and work out the version from there!
I've read several people on here saying they use an xbox frontend. If you use one, which version do you use and where did you get it from? (I'm in the UK)
You can check the serial number simply by looking at the back of the box. There is a hole in the box which shows the serial number of the xbox inside. However, I very much doubt you'll be able to find an xbox earlier than a 1.6 nowadays, as I believe they started producing them mid-2004. Your best bet would be to buy a secondhand one (perhaps from a shop like GameStation - our local one always has secondhand ones available). Make sure all the seals on the bottom are intact though, obviously.
Will
