Hi,

My daughter moved away with the ATV, so I have no idea if these links 
will help/work:

If you are not looking for full frontend functionality, you could try 
the internal XBMC mythtv:// protocol support by adding the backend as a 
XBMC video source. This page has a good writeup. 
http://adamhaeder.com/wordpress/2010/01/19/how-to-configure-xbmc-as-a-mythtv-frontend 
. Since you already have XBMC installed, skip down to the paragraph that 
starts "Go into the Videos section and select ‘Add Source’ from the 
menu" and continue at that point.

HTH,
Alan
