RE: Streaming Tivo to XBMC, Help with Linux commands

Well I managed to get it working, but there are still a number of
issues.

I have never been successful at getting TiVoWeb to start automatically
at a reboot and now I need ccXstream I have to manually start this as
well.

However, if I close the window on the PC in which I started ccXstream it
also closes the app on the TiVo. This doesn't happen with TiVoWeb...

I am typing' /var/hack/ccxstream. ' in the telnet session and all is
fine till I close the window...

Anyone out there got any ideas...

Nigel

PS would also like to hear from anyone else using TiVoX or ccXstream as
it seems there is an issue with the picture with fast motion, it blurs,
could this be something around interlacing ?

I'm going to attempt the same thing tonight, but I think that the step
you are missing is to add the tyshow codec to your installation of XBMC.

I have yet to get a good handle on all of this though, so ymmv,
