it does support video information based on xml in nfo files. checkout our online manual. however it is only updated when you scan a file into library, so it's probably not usable.
you could generate a pls or m3u file wich contain the streams then you could make it generate titles based on what is currently playing. you wouldn't get thumbnails for the programs then thou.
give me a hollar when anybody has tested it. currently I think they start playing in mplayer, should probably be changed to dvdplayer.

I will think about how to write better TV support in xbmc. It will probably be done by extending dvdplayer. But as it is, I don't have a tuner. The dreambox is interesting, but i've always rejected it since it has no support for even receiving hdtv channels and streaming them. Also double tuners have always been a must for me, so it's kinda out of the question.

the dreambox dm-7025 has dual tunner ( the second one being an add-in option card )
the dreambox dm-8000 with hd support is just arround the corner.

In general we don't think much about donations, as they normally go to hosting and such. us developers don't take anything out of it normally. There has been exceptions, as in the case of the dvdplayer. And in this case the hdhomerun (thou i've not taken it out as I intend to sell it unless i get a europe version).
We have talked about bounties abit on the team, but there is no general consensus about how to handle it. Think we'll start accepting it more thou.
finas, I'm sorry to hear that. They guy who is in charge of donations hasn't been very active for some time. Abit hard to get ahold of him at times. If you restate your problem i'll forward it.
