[mythtv-users] xbox mythtv

[Will]

I would imagine DVB receivers would use much less memory (and obviously 
CPU).. and the USB requirements would be lesser.. And I believe linuxtv.org 
has DVB drivers for a couple of USB receivers.

However there still do seem to be a lot of if's and but's (has anyone got a 
DVB frontend+backend with XVMC running in 64mb?). If it worked it would be a 
very cheap standalone mythbox though.

I understand you can get the xbox upgraded to 128mb by a company called 
friendtech, but I doubt it's cheap (and i don't have time to google ;)..

Will
