Can XBMC on ATV do Live TV ? - deejc - 2010-02-04

Hello All,
I have looked at the forums and searched but cannot find a definite answer, Can Apple TV with XBMC play live TV ?
I am currently using pvrtesting2 latest svn on ubuntu and would love to have this functionality on Apple TV but cannot really find any straight answers.

Apologies if this has already been answered.

As far as I can see, no. However you could install linux on your atv. Kind of defeats the object I know, but it is an option.

I'd love to do this too - I have a terratec cynergy t2 card hanging around from when I used eyetv on my mac and it would be great to get some of that functionality into an appletv build. I aint putting linux on my apple box yet tho!

Smile

Not an ATV owner but why wouldn't it pull streams from an HDHomeRun? Granted one would need to place the .strm files in a network share to access them as I dont think one could store them on the ATV but a network TV tuner is very modular.

I didnt have a clue about any of this! Tried to get myth running last night on my netbook - failed miserably. Gonna try one of the live mythbuntu installs tonight see if I have any more joy - thanks for the thoughts!

Don't forget to add host in /etc/host otherwise it won't work.
