<font face="Tahoma">I'm just coming up to speed with being a MythTV
power-user, so maybe I'm not understanding all the dynamics here. But
I have a question.... <br>
<br>
I just came across XBMC and installed it on my Gentoo MythTV
front-end/back-end system. The UI is phenomenal, plus it has native
capability to serve as a front-end for MythTV. Plus there are
numerous plug-ins and scripts to support lots of streaming video and
audio sources/websites. XBMC is of course originally for XBox, but is
now available for Linux, Mac, and Windows as well.<br>
<br>
My question is, what would be the reason *not* to use XBMC as a
front-end for MythTV, and leave MythTV to the PVR thing it is really
good at? There are already plenty of XBMC plugins, but only a few for
MythTV. Seems like this might even expand the popularity of MythTV.<br>
