Do you remember the VDR python libray and how we hooked it into the 
Freevo TV guide, leeching EPG data from VDR and sticking it into 
Freevo's EPG?  Well, then I was calling xine using the vdr-xine plugin 
to view the stream.

Someone on the list or IRC channel requested something a bit different a 
while back, when you hit TV in the main menu, go right into vdr-xine for 
live TV, forget about recording or EPG in Freevo.  I whipped up a 
plugin, vdrmain.py, and replaced the TV menu with it.  Worked fine.

VDR-xine was a bit sketchy, and somone make xinelibout for VDR. 
Xinelibout is great, adding another input method to xine, xvdr:// so you 
could watch TV from client <- server.  All I had to do to start using 
this in vdrmain.py was to modify the args in my Freevo config. :)  Until 
Freevo 2 TV is stable I'm using this on both of my Freevo boxes in the 
house and it's great.

Thanks, I'll send an update soon. :)
