UGH. Hopefully this way continues to work, because outside of PVR and/or live TV functionality it's the only thing I'm missing with XBMC for a perfect HTPC. I've donated some $ to the project, but if they could hash those two things out I would donate a nice chunk of $ because I would finally feel comfy cutting the cable!If you are looking for a GPU for HTPC in the future, this $29 AMD should be all you need- XFX HD-645X-ZQH2 Radeon HD 6450.
