I've used linuxmce, quirky/broken is my best way to describe it.  Spent
a considerable amount of time trying to make it work for home
automation, finally gave up and just spent some cash for windoze-based
HA software (homeseer).  It uses myth on the backend, you're probably
better off using myth direct via it's own front-end.  

I rather like/recommend xbox media center (on a hacked xbox or linux),
but I don't DVR anything, just watch locally downloaded files.  Who
needs icky commercials when teh interwebs provide such great
commercial-free content...
