No. Check http://xbox-linux.sf.net/ for more info. The 'Software' way
needs a legit copy of the game 'MechWarrior' and an Xbox memory card
with a specially adjusted savegame (easily obtainable).

Michael will have probably used the vdr-streamdev plugin from
http://www.magoa.net/linux to provide the MPEG2 data - although yes I
suppose there's nothing stopping you from using one of the DEC-2000t USB
adapters on the Xbox directly - just be aware that some channels may use
a higher bitrate than USB1.1 can deal with (11Mbps at tops).

Cheers,
Gavin.
