How are people finding the plugin on this? Could very well be the difference between me buying an ATV instead of running some cable from our dish for my TV.

The plugin itself works great, its just that some users are having difficulties with the ATV

You could always try a Raspberry Pi and XBMCbuntu when they arrive soon. ~£70 cheaper than ATV as well.

XBMCbuntu won't work on the Raspberry Pi, but RaspBMC will

Chris, have you considered a 'big screen' TVC? Can be controlled with a media center remote or a keyboard like this Google TV example http://gtv-resources.googlecode.com/...-02/index.html

It would essentially turn any TV box that has a browser into a TVC client. I had a look at the source code but its 99% javascript so I haven't a clue.

I've already got a 'big screen' TVC via XBMC lol and it uses a WMC remote out of the box. I think I know what you're suggesting, the problem would be what sort of streams the boxes could handle. To be honest though, once the Raspberry PI hits the shelves, so to speak, I think it will make quite a nice little Set-Top Box for a lot of people.

I don't know if you solved this, but a possible solution is to knock your EPG down to just 1-2 days of programming for the guide, 15 days is just massively slow to download and may in fact never complete (memory issues?).

[dj_gerbil]

Errrrrrm, check the settings. The options are in there for Exactly that purpose and were added especially for iOS devices.

[dukevim]

Yes I mean knock it down in the settings, sorry I wasn't clear.

That's ok, sorry if I came across as harsh, I'm having one of those evenings
