[mythtv-users] What version of Xbox is best for myth?

[George Styles]

I would go for a 1.5 .

Mine is a (TSOP flashed) 1.0 which is VERY noisy (2 fans, one for case/cpu 
and one for gpu)

My sisters is a more recent one (not sure, 1.1-1.5?) and is MUCH quieter

1.6 and up seem to have issues with modding
