Just edit tvmenu.xml and have the "Watch TV" button bring up xawtv instead
of launching the Myth LiveTV mode. But be careful, because Myth won't know
that the tuner is in use & won't know that you've changed the channel, so it
could end up messing up your scheduled recordings.

Is it easily possible to add another button which will bring up xawtv?

Regards the scheduled recordings, once you shut down xawtv, things should be
fine right?

Well, yes and no. True, xawtv is no longer using the tuner card. However,
unless this has changed, Myth will assume that the tuner is still tuned to
the last channel Myth tuned it to. So, if Myth last tuned to channel 6, and
has an upcoming recording on channel 6, it doesn't bother to change the
channel because it thinks it's already on channel 6. BUT, if you changed to
channel 10 via xawtv in the interim, Myth will record from channel 10.

This behavior may have changed/been fixed at some point; it's not an issue
that affects me so I really haven't been tracking it.

It was changed to not assume that it was the only thing using the tuner card.

Is that change in 0.10, or only in cvs and later?
