All someone (cough.. cough) has to do is create an itv or frontrow-esque theme for MythTV and then the AppleTV is completely irrelevant. You can build a MythTV box for ~400bucks Less if you look around... and you will have..
Tivo/DVR, Music, Movies, Photos, Internet, NES/Sega/SNES emulators, DVD Player, 5.1 or 7,1 receiver, and MythTV supports 5.1 and HDTV (AppleTV doesn't).
Also there are a ton of modules I dont know much about but they look cool like an IPPhone, but here they are:
MythTV's add-on modules (plugins) include:
MythVideo: plays various video file formats.
MythMusic: A music player, jukebox, collection manager, and CD ripper.
MythDVD: DVD manager and ripper.
MythGallery: Online photo gallery manager.
MythNews: RSS feed news reader.
MythWeather: fetches weather forecasts from the net.
MythBrowser: small web browser.
MythGame: Frontend for game console emulators.
MythWeb: Controls MythTV from a remote web browser
MythPhone: Internet telephony from your TV via SIP.
MythFlix: Netflix queue viewer.
MythArchive: DVD burner
MythStreamTV: Allows for placeshifting, similar to a Slingbox.
UPnP AV MediaServer v1.0 compliant server: Share media files with UPnP-clients
