I used the original interface for awhile. There wasn't much to it.
Pretty much just a list of what media files you had. It was simple, but
I wouldn't quite go so far as saying it was horrid..
I wasn't aware of how long the MS Media Center thingy's screenshots were
around. Even still, it's pretty funny how XBMP looks so much like the
ones in the screenshots. There's even a skin that comes with it that
makes it truly look like the MS one.
At any rate.. This is the MythTV list =) MythTV is neato, I can't
wait to get a better setup to use it to it's full potential. The
dual-TV card thing is real cool. I wonder what the performance is like
when recording a show and watching live TV on the other.
I noticed an option for "hardware MJPEG" in the encoder drop down menu.
Do any TV cards out there support this feature? Ideally, this would
let you do MythTV with a lot less of a powerhouse of a box (and a more
quiet one too.)

Xbmp built their interface off of screenshots of Microsoft's media
center, not the other way around.
You should have seen the original interface of xbmp, it was pretty
horrid (with one small nod to the windows media player).

ok, I guess I should have looked at it. It had the word "XBox",
so I just assumed... I'll NEVER do that again... hehehe... ;-)
