Another thing. DBOX2 doesn't have a disk controller onboard, so that rules out sharing the dbox' 'drives' to mythvideo. Ooops.
It's really only any use as a video source, and even then only up to a point. Before I build my EPIA-based frontend using minimyth, I was using an xbox running XBMC with the python scripts for mythtv (with great success I might add!). You should be able to pick up a suitable box for less than £100 now. Infact you could build a quiet system capable of playing xvid/divx& MPEG2 for less than £200 (EPIA M-10000 & a nice case, DVD drive, remote etc). CPU usage on my frontend playing back DVB-T recordings is around 15% using xvmc. All my transcoded DVDs play back without any problems too. I wouldn't rate the EPIA boards as suitable for use as backend material though.
