color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>Thanks for the mail. I'm actually an avid
visitor to mp3car.com and have been for the last 3 years. What I failed to
point out is that I do have an XM PCR. Based on some of the responses that
I've received I am assuming that no integration of XM receivers has been done
with Myth yet. I'm VERY new to Myth, so sorry if I'm repeating any
posts.<SPAN class=873383817-23062006> For those that are interested
in a hardware solution, mp3car.com will provide you with a variety of mods that
can be performed on XM devices to enable them to connect to a USB / serial
port. </SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff><FONT size=2><SPAN class=873383817-23062006>Interestingly enough,
no XM devices come with digital outputs. Fortunately there are solutions
for that too. With very small modifications, I've added a TOSLINK
adapter to my XM PCR that enables me to have digital out. This is
great as the DAC on a lot of the XM devices are poor quality to say the
least. The increase in sound quality is
staggering.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN><SPAN

color=#0000ff size=2>I've found an app by Michael Minn that is basically a Linux
XM controller written in C++. I would think that some small development
would enable this to be integrated with Myth. I've not done any
development now for some years, but I guess I can give this a go once I get my
Myth box up and running!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

interface. If you want more information on XM radio on computers I would check
out <A href="http://mp3car.com">mp3car.com</A> they are all into geting XM on
their carputers so they would probably have some usefull links, or maybe even
code to controll the receivers. <BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR>~Andrew
