robjg63: What device are you running XBMC on just out of curiousity?
HiroProtagonist: Install & configure TVHeadend.
Install TVHeadend PVR front-end in XBMC
Watch Live TV on XBMC.
NZtimbo: There is an XBMC app for tv3 and tvnz but it's not been maintained for some time so it's pretty useless.
I use a mythTV backend to record everything we watch and XBMC as various frontends on an HTPC and a Pivos XIOS box, works good.

NZtimbo: Oh, thats a problem... what about satellite? My mythTV backend has two DVB-S cards and a DVB-T card, mostly use the terestural one as it's HD, but if you had a Sky dish it's already pointing the the correct satellite.We're in temporary rental accommodation, so don't want to install a satellite. I had look at Couchpotata etc and certainly interesting services, but not for streaming live TV content via the web. It's clear that there's no simple solution that integrates with XBMC. Not the end of the world as its just a case of switching back to the desktop and stream directly from the TVNZ and TV3 web pages. Thanks.
Hulu and the BBC iPlayer plugings work kinda, not having much sucess with them at the moment using Slingshot Global Mode while my oversees friends are still camping.
Other than that there is couchpotato, sickbeard and sabnzbd but you didn't hear that from me...
Tim
NZtimbo: Agreed, if I could code I'd have a go at fixing the app...

Thanks! I'll try it out and let you know how I get on

Same here. Although it's an ongoing commitment as well to keep the code maintained. But it appears that the real issue is that the providers (TVNZ and TV3) are no longer providing an interface that can be called by the application, and instead keeping it proprietary for use by selected partners such as Samsung for their smart TV.

The plugin just uses the flash player streams, they just change as the web site changes so its an ever moving target

It used to pull from the ps3 based navigation (for tvnz).
Snooping the ios or android app may be a better way forward. Unless the stream are drm'd which I believe they are (and run through brightcove).
