<p>Thanks for the reply Raymond though I had seen pretty much all of that since I did some research before posing the question.</p>
<p>Both the telnet socket and mythXML seem to be very good at getting data, not so great at setting it.</p>
<p>Since I only want to dabble with Android programming I will probably abuse the mythXML pages to do what I want (nothing more than a program guide, upcoming recordings page etc, but with the option to set recordings).</p>
<p>Nick, I realise I could do this with mythweb, but it doesn't look great on my phone and that won't help me to learn.</p>
<p>Also, I have seen mythmote and mythdroid and others and while they are good at what they do they don't scratch my itch.</p>
<p>I guess ideally I was after some feedback on the intended use for mythXML and whether calling those pages from an app would be a good idea. Failing any other feedback I will just plan to run with them for now.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>
Whytey</p>
