Apple TV and Live TV

It took a while, but I finally figured a kind of way to do this...

1 jailbreak your apple tv and install xbmc
2 Install some kind of tv tuner on a PC (haupauge 950q)
3 on that computer install media portal
4 Enable rtsp streaming on media portal
5 Change channels by going into tv server config and manual control. Select the channel and hit start recording
6 create a .strm file with rtsp://192.168.1.40/stream2.0 <- modify for your setup and share it so you can browse to it from xbmc
7 select the .strm from xbmc and watch tv
8 change channels - make sure you press stop on xbmc, then stop streaming on media portal then change the channel, then start streaming, then play on xbmc

This is kind of mickey mouse, but it does work. Run vnc on the computer running media portal and you can control it from a laptop or phone or whatever so changing channels isnt really that hard.. And the apple tv cannot decode the 1080 over the air channels its too slow. I have a pc displaying the same stream and its ok. So you have to send it the sd channels..
