    bdawgdude,

    just search for it, there is a feed somewhere.

    If u want sports go to myp2p.eu and they have all live streams of every sport, u just have to download the software for the required feed and they also have live tv, its a great site!

    I also have an external USB tuner that i have hooked up to my digital cable box. You can definitely change channels with that set up. I haven't done it yet but i've read the faq's and help sections on ORB.com. It doesn't seem that hard. The only thing i'm unsure of is whether or not it'll work to play my recorded shows using my DVR/TIVO?

    Whats the best T.V. Tuner that is not USB ( because I hear it doesn't work) that works in my cable box and would let me watch Live TV on my ipod touch?

    I will also give 1+ rep who ever helps me.

    Thx, Hyze

    take a look at orb's recommended TV tuners. since they're recommending them, they're probably sure to work with it:

    http://www.orb.com/system_requirements

    there's some PCI tuners listed there, as well as USB.

    if you plan on just sticking your coaxial cable into the tuner, you should be fine.

    but if you plan on putting a line out from a cable box into the tuner, and channels can only be changed by using a remote for your cable box, then you'll need an IR Blaster to change channels from the box.

    Best Program ever for ipod. 10 out of 10

    I am so happy this came out. It took me just a few minutes to hook everything up.

    I set it up so i can watch over 100 live cable channels, can watch all my downloaded videos, and all my music.

    im so excited to show this off to my friends.

    I've got all the TV, Music, Pictures, Videos, and even my webcam working, however I don't know how to stream my FM Radio that also runs through Media Center. Thanks if anyone knows how.
