About two or three weeks ago, I took the plunge and bought a HDHR Prime box to use with a cablecard for cable tv. I got MythTV setup and running with Kodi as the frontend and it works great....although the Kodi EPG guide is pretty bad to use and read from afar. I switched to MythTV's frontend, which works a lot better, but having a dual boot machine has problems of it's own. I tried a few skins, but I really liked the Confluence skin the best for everything but the EPG screen.
I checked out PseudoTV awhile ago and I loved the EPG/interface, but I'm having issues trying to set it up. For as popular as PTVL is, there has to be an easier way to set it up and something that I'm missing. The autotune worked, but it didn't keep the channel numbers of my backend. It also took about 2 hours to run through the setup and about 10 minutes for it to shutdown. This is why I think something isn't right. I also have about 200-some channels through cable.
Can somebody give an overview of how to get it working with MythTV's backend, keep the same channel numbers, and keep it speedy? Some people say to use xmltv, and edit the settings2.xml file...but I can't imagine it being this difficult...
