Has anyone integrated a TV card into XLobby, and how did you do it?
Or else, which prorams do you use to watch TV on your HTPC?

Definy your understaning of integrated.

Until the EPG/PVR functionality is made available you can only call your software, just like anyother program. What is the issue?

Ok, that makes it easy. But I was hoping that I could give it the look and feel of xlobby, not just an other program which is opend.

So integrated IMHO means the user won't notice that it is completly different from Xlobby or at least will not think that he/she is back in a windows enviroment.

That level of integration is a lot of work and often a different skill set/knowledge is required.

Actually I would also say at least if you are using DVb-S sw then these TV software's interfaces via OSDs and remote controls are "superior" to say a limited Xlobby integration. (which would probably be the case )

You still never see a windows style application.
