I did think about using an Xbox, but getting to play ball with an LCD
was going to be a PITA. Glad I didn't bother now<span

Yes I do - I can't recommend it as a MythTV frontend. Performance is
just too sluggish. <br>
<br>
However I do recommend using XBMC as a general purpose media player -
you can watch MythTV Live TV and recordings as well as anything else.
It's great. You cant do Myth things like schedule recordings. To the
OPs original question, it's fair to say it's not totally silent.<br>
<br>
In the end, if you have an old Xbox its a cheap frontend, but if you
are building from scratch, I'd go the Via Epia route. <br>
<br>
I also use an Asus eeePC occasionally. Fantastic machine.<br>
