what's xbmc?

yes via the web interface which lets you stream the nuv/mpeg files.
There is also a windows port of the frontend player.
There is also a 'liveCD' so you stick the CD into a windows box, rebooot
and it runs Myth straight from the CD.

*Very*
I run a backend that runs 24x7 and it stays up for months at a time just
recording away...
(The one thing I would caution against is the Hauppage card with a VIA
chipset - flakey DMA apparently)
I also run one frontend diskless - just a motherboard/CPU/RAM with
onboard sound/s-video.
