Typing mythlivetv:// into Firefox launched Windows Media Player (in the old
skin mode) and it played for at least a couple of minutes. I know there's a
known issue with MPEG2 and live TV according to the website. (PVR-150 in the
backend). I've yet to sit there and use it (the Windows machines in the
house aren't mine to touch, getting permission to install DSMyth to try took
subtefuge as it was ;P)

Changing channels is buried behind too many screens in Windows Media Player
that I probably wouldn't bother with it. What I suggested my folks do is
select the program from the program guide, choose Record this showing, click
Record and wait a few seconds for it to start recording and then view that,
avoiding live TV altogether.

Heh... Thing is, even when I do that, the seek bar/time remaining values dont change. If I let the thing record for two minutes then attempt to watch, I'll get two minutes of video. After that I'll need to re-open the file to see more and repeat until the recording finishes (quite dull).

Several people have said this works for them though, and there's even a message about using Media Player Classic in this way on the DSMyth website... It just doesn't work on my end. I must be missing some vital detail here.
