Is this a feature request or does it exist already? I am using Frodo RC3 right now with myth .26 on ubuntu 12.04 and the cmyth-pvr-addon. Things are going pretty smooth. The only 2 absent features right now for me are a previous channel option, and more dynamic recording options. I have taken care of the second one though 2 ways. I can use the launcher plugin to launch the mythtv front end separately, or launch chrome to the mythweb page.
I like it a lot, but in order to get my wife to start using this setup there needs to be some navigation and guide polish. There is still no easy way to bring up the timeline EPG once playback has started and controls in general are not as simplistic as they should be. Enter brings up info in the guide, when I think it should just go to the channel. Info should only come up if info is pressed. These are all problems though based on the fact that you need to support so many input devices, and there isn't just one way to input in xbmc. The Remote becomes a lot more important when you put live tv in XBMC.
This is ridiculously early though, and am blown away by the support and usability. I cant believe I am watching my Fios TV in xbmc. For the most part without issue.
