I have been using XBMC on my xbox for a long time, and ya the mythtv feature
does have a few stuttering problems. The liveTV portion has been working
great, but watching it for a lone time does cause stuttering like once every
20 min or so, but its tolerable (least for me hehe). Recordings play great,
but NUV transcoded recordings seem to have an issue (least for me. I dont
have that problem much because im using a DVB-S card in my mythbackend).
One thing that is missing from it is commercial skip and a better EPG. Once
those features are in , i belive it could replace my xebian frontend!
Cheers!
