While we wait for Carm to decide about the tvplugin I thought I will show how I did it....

1/ Download Xlobby.zip at
http://snow.prohosting.com/lar282/xlobby/Xlobby.zip
2/ unzip at c:\program files
3/ Run the configuration.exe under xlobby\tvmodule and set up your tvcard and the location of your tvguide.xml file. Also make sure u map your channels to the tv card.
4/ Reg the Xlobby\TVModule\AutoItX.dll so we can minimize and maximize through a vbs script. This is done by the command
regsvr32.exe path to\AutoItX.dll
5/ Add an event in Xlobby to start the TV by creating an event to the vbs script called
Xlobby\TVModule\check_tvmodule.vbs
6/ DONE. Time to enjoy tv, timeshift, tvguide,scheduled recordings and so on.

I have tried ALOT of tv apps and I have to say that this is the best way for ME(until Carm is done) and the skin in the MP is easy to change so u can modify it to YOUR needs so it looks alright for u. I included my skin in the first zip to show the integration.
