I am just about to try and do this today again, it was either that or
pull teeth...

Any pointers appreciated, I thought a few people on the list had this
working...

Hi,

I'm looking for some guidance on streaming TiVo to XBMC (X-Box Media
Centre).  I looked in to this many months ago and had limited success...

I have managed to add TV Guide to the XBMC Main Screen, which gives me
TiVoX Control Station, if I look through 'TV Guide' and select a channel
I get the listings with a brief description scrolling at the top, which
seems fine....

The 'To Do' function also appears OK

The 'Now Showing' does present me with a list of recorded programs, if I
then use the 'Play' option it shows 'Playing' at the top of the screen
for a second or so then nothing, it just continues to show the 'Now
Showing' screen....

It's very frustrating as it is half way there, but half way is not far
enough...

The issue does seem related to the Streaming aspect of the application,
probably a setting in the TiVo ?

Can anyone point me to a recent 'How To' that worked for them....

This is made worse as my existing dish suffers very bad rain fade and I
want to use a dish 200 Metres up the garden placing the TiVo and Rx'er
local to the dish and running the streamed video over IP over an
existing LAN cable....

Thanks in advance

Nigel
