Well I've done tons of research, and finally have my first HTPC pretty much spec'ed out, save for one thing: The TV Tuner
What I'm wanting to do is be able to watch TV as well as record TV. The card I'm planning on getting is a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250, which is a dual tuner card so I can watch and record TV at the same time. My TV source will be an HD antenna.
From what I've read, sounds like XBMC hasn't fully developed to allow for this, at least easily. So my question is: What's the status on this? Does MythTV interface with XBMC so that I don't have to switch around different programs? I'm basically looking for an easy to use interface such as what comes with Win7.
I was planning on running Linux with XBMC, but the tv part is a make or break for me. Also any thoughts on the Hauppaauge card? is that good or is there something better?
