You can soft-mod an XBox so that you can install Xebian http://www.xbox-linux.org/ [xbox-linux.org] (Eds debian) on it. It comes with freevo (a nice home theatre platform) and the remote control stuff all ready to rock straight out of the bag.
Just hook it up to a fileshare.
So that's:
* Xbox - £100
* Long piece of cat5 to get to your computer - £10
* Xbox remote control (cos you don't want to use a keyboard or a mouse) - £20
* Copy of mechassault to softmod your xbox - £10 off ebay, or free if you ask someone nicely;)
* Xebain - free.
So that's £140 for a home theatre system that can play every type of video and audio file I've ever tried with no stupid keyboard or mouse involved.
I seriously cannot believe that this post got given a score of 1, when some twat just posts MythTV and get fucking 5!!!
Hello you stupid robotic cock-bite?
And XBox costs £100, a long piece of CAT5 costs £10, a copy of MechAssault off of Ebay to soft mod your xbox costs £10. The remote control for you XBox costs £20

Suprnova isn't a tracker :)
If you want to put something up on it you have to find your own tracker first!

They do have a downloadable version - you just have to pay for the privilage of downloading it. BM
