thanks for the info on the skin change. i was confused at first because there was no home.xml in the ntsc folder, so i edited the one in the pal folder. i'll copy it over when i get home. thanks again for your help!
you'd think, having linux experience you'd know all about typos by now :d
i knew very little about linux when i set out with my mythtv box, but it's quite easy once you grasp the basic concepts imho.
my next step will be to try to get the scheduling bit to work - last time i tried it, it would just hang - and i think it hung the backend too. i've been tempted to try a knoppmyth install on the xbox but i know how long it (linux) takes to boot up. i sometimes still play games on the xbox so i could do without having to wait for it to boot.
from what i know of mythtv & xbmc it shouldn't be too hard to extend xbmc into a full blown mythfrontend. 'all' the linux frontend does is give instructions to the backend over the network, and live tv is just mplayer pointing to mythtv's ringbuffer. maybe i'll turn it into a little pet project and learn some programming while i'm at it
it's gonna be that or i'll build a 'proper' htpc.
