Just wondering if someone ever tried to run a tuner such as Eyetv 250 (USB) with a ATV / MAC XBMC?

Would this by able to be implemented with python?

Any ideas?

Cheers, netwho

But it is simply an application port, so i'm not sure how to use it with XBMC on my apple TV

after following the eyetv guide on awkwardtv wiki, install nitotv plugin. this will allow you to launch eyetv from the frontrow menu (nitotv -> applications) with the appletv remote.

i wonder if the program launcher will become functional in later xbmc releases.

Cool Thanks!
I'd love to see this to be added to xbmx, when ever with some epg options.
xmltv would do it for me....

Looking forward to a bright future with xbmc :)
