I am running 0.21-fixes with HD Homerun tuners. I recently installed<br>
XBMC on another computer to try it out as a frontend. I was able to<br>
watch live TV on it from the MythTV backend. It worked just fine. I<br>
don't remember if it was via UPnP or the XBMC built-in myth protocol.<br>
So if this worked in 0.21-fixes, it should work in the current version.<br>
<br>
You could just install mythtv frontend on your HTPC. If you can stream<br>
(watch) recordings you should be able to do the same with "live TV",<br>
since I believe that there is no difference in mythtv with respect to<br>
watching live TV or recordings. Live TV is nothing more than a chasing<br>
playback of an in-progress recording.<br>
