[mythtv-users] XM Radio Functionality in Myth

Don't slam the XM feed too badly - I listen to them all day, every day,
mostly online, since my office doesn't have a Southern window.
Sometimes they crack up a bit, but very rarely.  I'd be interested in an
XM Plugin, too.  In fact, I was thinking about this just the other day.
I was wondering if there was already a plugin and if not, maybe I'd see
what it took to create one... :-) 

XM is to radio as MythTV is to TV - on your schedule, (mostly)
commercial free.

Rgds,

Bret

have you listened to their online streams? they're pretty poor quality,
nowhere near their satelite feed in quality. My friend has XM and set up
XBMC to listen online and we were pretty disapointed with the quality.
