Windows Finally timeshifting, thank you, but...

I've installed FTR on a windows 7 home box. I haven't found how to integrate Schedules Direct XMLTV data yet but google should help me solve that.

I was able to watch a TV channel with no guide info on XBMC and pause and rewind. Pretty cool!

I'm a bit weirded out that FTR's awesome management consoles aren't more intuitive. They seem pretty much like MythTV and TVHeadend's endless menus of services and mappings... etc.

I compiled Margo's git repo but then found someone was nice enough to create a PPA for Ubuntu.

I'm guessing this means it would be trivial to install XBMCbuntu, add the repo, and then apt-get update, then upgrade or install to Margro's version.... I'm gonna try this on a USB stick tonight and see how well it works on my main HTPC. It's a Zotac ZBOX dual core Atom with 4GB of RAM. Right now I'm running the Pulse-Eight ION build of OpenElec. I do love that it just works out of the box. But I also love having a full linux distro underneath the hood.

Margro, as you mentioned earlier in the post it would be great to use the left and right arrows to timeshift, but this would require a new way to change channel groups.

Is there any chance it could be handled the way mediaportal handles changing the channel groups? i.e. when you have the mini epg open on screen you can press left or right to scroll through the channel groups.

This is also a useful way to see the channels within each group and means you can browse channel groups whilst watching TV without being forced to change channels.

Thanks
