(I've CC'd him already) It may not be that hard... I've written a python wrapper around the hdhomerun library, and I have also written a python wrapper around cuse4bsd... The hard part would be understanding what Linux does, and what it needs to return... I can provide either/both python wrappers upon request... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
