Just let us know Krusty. I have a ceton infinitv just dying to try this out. I figured the encrypted channels won't work, but I just want a better front end then WMC. I am patiently waiting for any type of release to test out.

I would be interested in knowing if this long thread here means that there is hope of setting up a WMC TV PVR back-end and using it with XBMC.
I admit I did not read all of this and the few pages I read seemed to show progress.
Well, the pvr features (setting up recordings, viewing recordings, viewing guide data is working fine for all the testers). However about a third of the people testing are having problems with live tv, that I have yet to work through (although some issues have been solved).
The other problem with live tv, is that I don't have a solution for channels that broadcast in h264. If anyone can help with this that would help a lot, otherwise I will look for solutions to this once I have the rest of the software stable. And I will never have a solution for xbmc viewing encrypted broadcasts (although you can use this backed to record them, and eventually I may have a way to launch wmc to view these).
But you know this isn't my job, but I spend time on it whenever I can and I am committed to releasing it. So yeah, there is a lot of hope I'd say.
Oh, it is also not installing in win8. This is fixable, but I am going to have to break down and get win8 to resolve this (I can't decide what computer to install it on...)
