I downloaded this 3 or 4 days ago . The menu system looks really good, comes up with prog list etc, but whenever I try to select a catchup prog or a stream it hangs xbmc into a not responding status where I have to kill it. Any ideas?
Over the last week I've looked at various solutions to a problem we have here in Cyprus with UK TV via satellite. We are a group of five British ex-pats who all have 3m dishes to get SKY TV to get the UK channels, but over the last year reception has been getting worse with some channels now only being available half the day as we are on the cusp of the satellite coverage area.
So, I've been looking at an IPTV solution that will work for us. A couple of us are running our laptops to the TV with a VPN connection and can access the BBC, ITV etc online, but it's a pain really using the browser/mouse so I've been looking at various interfaces we can use via a remote control that will work on a dedicated home theater PC. I've looked at Media Portal, Boxee Windows version, and the milliesoft Windows media center plugin. They all work with various degrees of success but all have issues. If we had all of the features in one piece of software that worked in the various apps then we would be laughing.
Basically what we want is:
1.Live streaming of: BBC1,2,3,4 ITV 1,2,3,4 Channel 5, 5US and Channel 4, More 4 etc. Oh, and Sky News as well..
Catchup services of iPlayer, 5 On demand, 4 On demand, ITV catchup.
The tvcatchup add-on looked good until they banned VPN access to their servers
