I signed up yesterday out of curiosity. All I can do so far is manage
the channel lineup through a web page (just like zap2it). Yesterday,
I emailed LxM support for info on how to setup as the data provider as
its not in the mythtv-setup drop down list on Video Sources. I also
asked for any other docs, urls's etc. So far nothing yet.......and
kinda bummed.
