I've had "good-enough" results with the 360 by simply dumping the media content onto a terabyte external drive. The only real issues are the limited formats supported. Local support for MPEG2 or VOB would solve most of my problems but that's not coming anytime soon.
I'm currently attacking the problem from another, but similar, angle hooking up the external drive to the Oppo BD drive. The video quality (given the built-in scaler) is outstanding. Lack of support for MS formats is the only disappointment. But since it does support VOB files and multiple external drives, I think I can use the Oppo to hold my archived DVD shows and use a double-connect NAS box (usb to the 360 and ethernet to the remote media center PC) to hold the TV shows I DVR but its going to be a while before I can test the rest. First I need get a Hauppage HD-PVR box and get it working with Win7 media center, though.
Going to be a while before I can get to it as I'm kinda busy these days...
