Thanks

I just started in on the PVR builds last night and this one was the only one I could get LiveTV going on, mind you it still crashes a lot. But not 100% sure if it is just the system I am running it on, not one of my production boxes that have more memory etc heh. But I basically used the steps from this thread and got things compiled and installed. Check out the README.ubuntu after grabbing the Repository for dependencies you will need. Someone do correct me if things like the git branch -a command aren't needed. And thanks to tsp42 for developing this, I look forward to seeing where this goes. I still use MythFrontend and then launch XBMC from it for now, but if this stabalizes and in the future we can get more of a Guide like look when in the EPG this would be so much better for the family to be in one product heh!
Thanks go to dubstar_04 from this thread:
