True, it's not too fancy. However, XBMC is not meant to be a DVR. It just plays lots of video from lots of places. I just like having the ability to stay in XBMC and still be able to stream video from my mythtv backend.

XBMC won't record your tv shows, but it does act as a basic frontend. It can connect to a MythTV backend and stream live tv and recordings (without a plugin).
