There's also Atom/RSS feeds for new episodes. All I seem to get is
news about new XBMC releases.

And automatically acquiring new episodes with torrents.

Oh, and my LIRC problems are with all those extra buttons on my RF ATI
remote -- it's not an IR remote, is that the problem? Simple things
like VolUp and VolDn work, but navigating through screens and
selecting an item requires using the mouse-like cursor and going
through a series of button presses to simulate a left-mouse-click with
the check-mark button. The buttons that are actually labelled for
mouse clicks don't do anything. Surely there's a way of using the
remote control as a remote control, not a badly designed mouse emulator.
