    Go Back To The Home Screen And Select System And Settings Again

    10SysSet.jpg

    Then Select Live TV

    11LiveTV.jpg

    In The General Tab, Make Sure You Select Enable

    12Enable.jpg

    Then In The EPG Tab, Select How Many Days You Want To Store
    Select Several Days So That You Don't Have To Wait A Long Time Every Time You Start XBMC Up

    13EPG.jpg

    Quit XBMC, And Restart... You'll Notice It Starts Importing EPG Data, And Live TV Is Now Available

    14Final.jpg

    It'll Take Some Time The First Time, About 20 Minutes
    And Here It Is Working

    15Working.jpg

    Next Time You Start The XBMC, It'll Pull The EPG From The Local Folder
    Then Update The Channels/Recordings
    This Takes Only A Matter Of Seconds
    You Can Then Use It The Stream Live TV/Recordings

    Although It Will Re-Import The EPG In The Background Which Will Take About 20 Minutes Again

    Enjoy...

    Thanks for this, I had never considered it. If it's fast enough and easy enough to use, it would make a decent set up for a second room!

    I previously tried this about a month ago using my Apple Tv with the Vu PVR installed, but when it came to watching everything it lagged continously leaving nothing watchable. That was streaming via Homeplugs from ATV to router, and ethernet from router to Solo 2 box. So unlessI hadn't configured something properly, it was useless for me. Has anyone else had better results with an ATV2?

    Will Post Results On My Dual Core When I've Tested It...

    It's For A Pc, Or Any Device That Can Run The XBMC...

    Like A Raspberry Pi, Android, OpenElec, MAC, Linux, Windows Etc...

    Code:

    Yes Initially You Need To Wait For It To Completely Download The EPG/Picons/Recording Data... It Takes About 20 Minutes... And After That When Starting XBMC, It Quickly Loads Them Locally Within Seconds... But If You Set Your EPG To Only 1 Day, And Don't Start It For 2 Days After, You'll Have To Wait The 20 Minutes Again Before Everything Is Upto Date... Which Is Why I Recommend To Set It To Several Days... I've Found There's No Difference Between 1 And 3 Days In Terms Of Download Time...
