Re: Is there a Linux version of Windows Media Centre Edition?

to ge tthe EPG working, when it gets to teh bit for channels, you
need to alt + tab to a terminal window and tell it which ones you get
and which you don't.  basically it hangs at 50% waiting on user
niput, but doesnt switch focus to the right window.  pretty annoying
if you ask me, but once you realise its waiting on you, its easily
resolvable
