I thought I would update to the latest version of XBMC and to my surprise they have a plugin available for Vu+ receivers and plugins called PVR and LiveTV. These plugins work just fine with the Raptor and E2. It reads all your favorite bouquets and stores it on your PC HD. Now you can control your Raptor with the bouquet lists on your PC. Plus it seems you have options to move, remove, record, lock, filter, group management, etc. Haven't tried yet, don't want to mess my bouquet list.

You can watch on your tv an IPTV stream and also watch a sat channel on your PC. Looks like there are many other possibilities, but I am still playing with it. I started using the Confluence skin to see what it will look like and feel in the up coming PrismCube receiver. Looks pretty good.
