[mythtv-users] XBox360 to display in MythTV

[Thomas Baker]

Thanks for everyone's input.  It is clear that I overlooked the whole 
not-so-live TV issue and the solution is a little more complicated.  
Being that I can still use the xbox outside of myth and there are some 
other more important issues I need to fix (ie. the remote) I will 
probably put this one on the back burner for a while.  Probably until my 
roommate and I graduate in a couple months and my roommate takes his 
console with him.  Then it won't matter.
