Was planning on using xbmc with mythtv.
Tried using media portal, but it looks naff.

Did you have a look at streamedmp

I didn't.  It didn't do a bunch of stuff I use in XBMC.
Like merge folders to appear as one.

Oddly enough I was using XMBC yesterday. My Mom is confined to bed for a few days and the bedroom with the electric blanket and closest to the bathroom, is the one without a TV or Ariel point. She does have a laptop though. After faffing about for a while trying to find a client for mediportal, I thought I'd give XMBC a whirl.

After a 30 Mg download, couple of minutes searching windows shares, mom was watching the African Queen from the Zbox, really impressed. The only downside for me is, not been able to use it with Logmein. All I can see is a blank screen. Something to do with the graphics library they use in xmbc
