Thank you for the offer, I've already had the chance to test on that model. The one model that's still outstanding is the HD Pro. I think someone in this thread has offered access to "multiple" models, I just haven't had a chance to follow up due to other things keeping me busy.

Thanks,
Harry

I have a slingbox hd, that you could use for testing. PM me if your are interested.

Hello,

I didn't understand if you were able to solve the resolution problem.

Great amazing work by the way

Thank you for the offer, I'll send you a PM when I'll have some time to do more testing. Might be a few weeks unfortunately cause of all the other stuff happening.

Thanks,
Harry

By "fighting with the source code" did you mean you actually had to change something? Or was it just a matter of not having compiled XBMC before? If you actually had to change some of the code, please let me know, cause it compiles fine for me every time, but if it didn't for you for some reason I'd like to know.

Thanks,

Hi This is really great work!! Hope you will keep it up

Can you recomend this solution for you primary TV source, with the low resolution? Or do you hope you can change on this in the future?

What about EPG and recording is this posible?

With the video scaling that's build into XBMC even the low resolution looks quite nice. If you turn off the scaling, then it looks quite bad and I wouldn't recommend it as your main source, but if you turn on the best scaling and you are used to SD TV then I think it would be fine. That's what I'll be doing.

Once the PVR branch gets merged into the trunk I will probably see what can be done about EPG, etc., but for now XBMC doesn't have the support except in the PVR branch (which I don't feel like messing with right now).

Thanks,
Harry
