Hi,
I'm new to using a tuner with XBMC and I'm wondering what everyone considers the easiest to use EPG solution?
I've tried the built in liveTV but the controls are a bit of a nightmare even for me so I can't see anyone non techy using it. The fact the you can't seem to close the epg when you press "e" and are forced to switch select a channel is a major pain, other little annoyances like bring up extra menu's when you select a channel on the epg and bring up the video controls window when you press "enter" and having no exit confirmation just make the whole setup pretty much unusable.
So far i've come up with the following 2 alternatives:
PseudoTV Live - has friendly controls and I already use it for custom playlist channels
TVGuideDixie/OnTapp.tv - EPG looks really nice and seem's simple to use (i've not tested fully yet though), requires you to make custom strm files for your backend
What's peoples opinions on other epg solutions and the most usable?
