XBox as a client? (1 Viewer)

So I played around with the SageTV trial a while back. I can say that I'm much happier with MP, and I'm planning a client system. That's when the SageTV Media Extender caught my eye. If I understand correctly, it's essentially a client computer. If I want a client for MP I need a whole new PC though, right? I'm not very familiar with XBMC, but is there any way that I could use an XBox as a client? What sort of integration could I get between an XBox and a MP server PC?

    There is ongoing development in the area of MP-XBMC integration.

    However, in the meantime, I use XBMC to navigate SMB network shares (windows shared folders) to play back recordings, listen to music, and view pictures.

    It works very very well. I am a big fan of XBMC, and I make sure I tell everyone about it every chance I get. (And MediaPortal's not bad either ;))

    So yes, XBMC is a viable client, and in the (not too distant?) future it will be better again.

    Hope that helps,
