For anyone interested, I just found an open-source C# app for viewing XMLTV data. http://gtvlistings.sourceforge.net/ Nothing amazingly new here, or perhaps even useful, but might interesting to some of you here. Handy for when I'm in Linux and need to keep an eye on TV programs so I can switch my box back to windows/MP.

Wow... I'm about a month behind CodeMonkey here, just discovering MP yesterday. Like CM, I've been contributing to GB-PVR. I don't want to bash GB-PVR--It's a great piece of work, and Sub has done a wonderful job up to now. But, for me, it's a little restricted so far as LiveTV is concerned. Sub wrote it to support the PVR350...
