I tried googling, but failed finding a definitive answer. >Is it a PVR frontend? Or something else? Yeah, it basically adds support for accessing pvr software like vdr (via external plugins), mythtv, tvheadend (tvheadend hasn't been ported yet but can still be accessed from a linux box over the network.) So you get things like a main menu entry called `Live TV', etc. (And switching channels btw is faster than with say vdr-sxfe too, especially for hd channels.) Oh and I'm still looking for mythtv testers... :) HTH, Juergen
