I know this is OSX specific request. Anyway.
I think what is really missing in XBMC is the ability for live TV. That was the reason for me going from Xbox to HTPC to "HTMAC".
Now I have EyeTV running along with frontrow for all the other stuff (videos, music, pictures).
I would love to replace frontrow with XBMC, but I would also love a nice integration of both. Maybe as a plugin or an extra module.. Dont know.
As EyeTv is one of the most used PVR and live TV application this combination would rock!
Any thoughts on this?

Ok, understood.
Does anyone has a good idea how to operate EyeTV and XBMC on the same Mac Mini then?
I was using Eyetv/Frontrow for quite a time. I would love to use the combination of Eyetv/XBMC. And a way how I can switch between the applications with the remote.
I have not found out a way to do this.
Some in this forum have discussed about replacing frontrow with XBMC but it seemed as they have run into trouble and is not very easy?!
I appreciate any hint.
(I do not want to loose forntrow too as it is so nicely tied into Itunes. As far as I know XBMC/Itunes integration does not work yet for V7+ of itunes, correct?)

Hi Guys and Gurls!
Just bought a Griffin RadioSHARK so I can get AM/FM radio to the mac mini media centre I am building.
It runs a small program called RadioSHARK to make itself work and seems to work quite well.
Not knowing much about the innards of XBMC, but being a donater, I'm wondering if someone could help me understand if I will be able to run this program under XBMC? I note there is a menu option for "Programs" but I don't quite understand what that is for?
Will I be able to load RadioSHARK under that menu option?
Is that the same place that EyeTV would go for me to be able to run my USB TV Card also?
Thanks for all your help guys and gurls! I'm loving how fast OSXBMC is coming along. You still see a few of the rough edges sometimes, but mostly it appears to work properly the majority of the time.
Keep up the good work elan and all!

There are no plans to integrate RadioSHARK or EyeTV at the moment. All my time is being spent on core functionality that's missing (e.g. Python). Once there is support for scripting and Python plug-ins, a whole new world will be opened up that could make it easier to integrate these sorts of things.
Stay tuned.

I'm using the filelist in videos to show my eyetv recordings, but it also shows the .eyetvsched files; Is there a way to exclude the .eyetvsched files from the video filelist?
