Just FYI,
I've successfully got MythTV working with the firewire connection on my Motorola DCT-6208 HD Cable Box. This system functions exactly like a true HTPC. I have been able to schedule programs for recording and it is successfully recording them and playing them back.
HDTV playback is a problem though, I am going to try using my NVIDIA Ti4200 to see if XvMC hardware decoding can help with my 1080i content playback. My A64 3500 isn't quite up to the task, but info on the net says that XvMC hardware decoding should lower the CPU load and might just be enough to get smooth HDTV playback.
Still have to figure out what modelines to use so I can eventually connect everything to my HDTV.
