The ONLY thing I now need live TV for is news, what options are available for live news TV through XBMC?

Any US/UK/Australia plugins/scripts that allow live viewing in reasonable quality?

I guess the only other thing I would miss would be music TV (VH1, etc), anything there either?

You could try http://www.CatchUpTV.com

I have the plug in and it works really well allowing access to all of the Freeview channels including BBC News 24 and Sky News. Also access to Sky Sports News but I think that is being removed from Freeview in the 23rd August and so I would assume it will be removed from this service.

Music channels available are Viva and 4Music

List of all channels are here: http://www.tvcatchup.com/channels.html

Think it is only available from within the UK.
