[mythtv-users] MythWeb streaming guides?

[MrVining]

I'm new to the linux side of things, but I've been grabbing MPEG2ts  
off my cable box for about 6 years now.  I have Mac OS X, and lots of  
flavors of Windblows and I have never came across a plug-in or codec  
that will play mpeg2 transport streams for WMP.

How about Windows Media Center?  WMC has come on all my versions of  
Vista so far, I haven't tried, but I bet you can associate the file  
thats downloaded with WMC.
