Re: [mythtv-users] XBox questions
You can use '007' as well for the game hack.

The X-Box I picked up was a v1.0 with a 10Gb drive. It had never been connected to X-Box Live so it had the original dashboard. The hardest part of the whole installation was finding an original Mech Assault as most rental and used-game places only had the patched version. I found one eventually and now I'm running Xebian and MythTV-frontend just fine. I downloaded the EvoX dashboard but so far haven't found a reason to install it as the current setup works well. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Are you sure that OS and Dashboard version on your Xbox are old enough to support installation using save-game hacks? New versions of the Xbox software are not as susceptible to these tricks. You might need a modchip, and newer versions of Xbox hardware aren't compatible with the open-source Cromwell BIOS. I tried to use the save-game hacks initially myself, and I ended up buying a modchip. My hardware was old enough to use Cromwell. Then I installed using Xebian and Mythtv-xbox. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

> 1) Does the XBox version of Linux/MythTV support HDTV output? I know I've read reports of people getting 480p to sort of work, but the XBox isn't powerful enough to decode real HD.

I'd just go with the MS dongle. It works quite well, and the MythXbox scripts set it up for you.
