I am assuming that if I go buy a box this afternoon that I will get a 1.6 version so I was being just a bit careful.
A few more questions if I might. Mouse and keyboard?? For simplicity do they have to be M$ stuff? Looking at my kid's XBox I don't see anything except controller ports on the front and Ethernet and video on the back. I am assuming that the keyboard must plug into a controller port? In the end it might be nice to do no keyboard at the TV and just turn on MythTV remotely from some other PC in the house. I.e. - COMMAND: Show The Daily Show on TV #3 and the program pops up using the XBox sitting at TV #3. Off to do some study.
