Hello,
I did a little searching, but never found any real discussion on
integrating XM (or other satellite radio) into MythTV. Are any of the
developers interested in this? I bring it up because over Christmas,
my family and I subscribed to XM radio. While I can hook it directly
to my stereo, I'd love to be able to use it directly in MythTV.
I have to admit, I didn't come up with the idea. I was walking
through Best Buy yesterday and I saw the Windows XP Media Center
display. However, one of the employees was listening to and changing
XM channels on it. So, I went home and found this:
http://www.xmradio.com/newsroom/screen/pr_2005_ces_microsoft.html
Basically it appears that there's a plugin in Windows MCE that acts as
a frontend wrapper around "XM Radio Online" which allows XM
subscribers to stream music over the net. What's nice about it is the
way it presents the information to the user.
I think SageTV also has a sirrius and XM plugin as well.
Either way, I just wanted to see if anyone besides me would be
interested in such a plugin!
Thanks!
Matt
