Hi Spiff, hi at all...
I've just installed the marvellous XBMC on my Ubuntu 8.0.4.
XBMC seems 2 be the best media center effectively, but I am a novice and I ask you a little help about how 2 configure my:
- Hauppauge PVR-250 TV/MPEG2 card;
- Remote controller (i've the Microsoft MC keyb+Mouse) but I can think 2 buy any as your suggestion.
Hope Spiff (that seems to be an XBMC's Guru) helps me...
Thanks a lot 4 ur attention
Fabio

Ciao Succo,
sono anch'io italiano - romano precisamente.
Ho letto la tua risposta e ti ringrazio. Il problema è che sono veramente un novizio quindi se hai tempo e voglia accetterò volentieri un aiuto più "dettagliato", altrimenti pazienza... arriverò (forse) alla soluzione in tempi migliori.
A proposito del telecomando: no. Ho acquistato quello microsoft per mediacenter compresa la testiera senza fili. Quello Hauppauge che possiedo è privo di ricevitore IR per cui è inusabile.
Un grosso ringraziamento per la tua attenzione
Fabio

A shor message for Spiff:
i've asked you an help because i've thinked of you as a XBMC's guru: probably correct.
i've sended a private message beause i've thinked that speak to you 'directly' was more useful and no annoying for others members.
Remember, knowledge is none with no elegance, style and education. You don't need to improve your knowledge; leave time for the other ones...

Short answer shoudl anyone ever bother to search and find this thread: XBMC doesn't directly support tuner cards at this time. Instead XBMC is capable of playing video recorded by MythTV that DOES directly support tuner cards and has done so forever as that's IT'S purpose. so rather than reinventing the wheel XBMC simply leverages existing functionality in another product albeit perhaps not as well as some might want. The developers are concentrating on getting XBMC to the same level of functionality as it had on the XBOX before trying to do added things so asking for direct tuner support now or other NEW functionality is likely pointless.
