HDhomerun as a Backend

Another option which may suit is to run the PVR backend on your NAS. I run TVHeadend on my QNAP, and it works brilliantly. I have 2 XBMC (openelec) PVR frontends that play media (videos, liveTV, recorded TV) from the NAS. If you need to run commercial skipping (or any other CPU intensive function), then this is not the solution for you. I use the QNAP NAS (with TVHeadend installed) to record DVB-T from 2xHDHomeruns. The DVB-T stream is taken directly from the HDHomeruns and written to disk, without any significant processing. The CPU on the NAS is rarely above 10%. My NAS is on all the time, so it made sense to go that way. Each to their own. Also, I concur with the ION post above. I previously ran mythtv (combined frontend-backend) on an ASROCK ION330, and it had no problems recording multiple DVB-T stream, and post processing commercial skipping at the same time.

What plugin(s) do you need to do this (Live TV using HDHomeRun3 network tuner). I have the Argus For The Record backend installed on the same Windows machine. I gather that there is a plugin for this included in Margro's PVR builds, but what do I need in order to view live TV in XBMC without the PVR version?
