Quite simple...

Find the stream you want to play there:
http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/TWiT_Live#Direct_links_to_TWiT_Live_Video_Streams

Say you're going to play:
http://twit.live-s.cdn.bitgravity.com/cdn-live-s1/_definst_/twit/live/high/playlist.m3u8

Edit the .m3u sample provided on that wiki entry.
and add at the end:

   #EXTM3U
   #EXTINF:0,315 - TWIT TV
   #EXTMYTHTV:xmltvid=hls.twittv
   http://twit.live-s.cdn.bitgravity.com/cdn-live-s1/_definst_/twit/live/high/playlist.m3u8

Follow the instruction on that wiki entry, but use the URL to the
modified m3u instead.
Go in mythtv-setup and rescan for the channels

Play channel 315 (as set above) and enjoy...

If you're not interested in recordings, you can play the file with mythavtest:

mythavtest http://twit.live-s.cdn.bitgravity.com/cdn-live-s1/_definst_/twit/live/high/playlist.m3u8

Or if you have an iOS device, paste the URL
http://twit.live-s.cdn.bitgravity.com/cdn-live-s1/_definst_/twit/live/high/playlist.m3u8

in Safari, and select via AirPlay the myth frontend you want to play to.


Next step is to find a XMLTV grabber for their guide data there:
http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/Schedule

Re-run mythtv-setup and map the xmltv data to the id: hls.twittv

Then this twit TV channels will appear for myth exactly like any other
FTA channels. You can use it in live TV, set up recordings etc...

It's very neat (but I'm very biased).
