Hi
My plan is to have a HTPC with a freeview HD tuner card which must be able to stream freeview hd to another HTPC in a different room.
Does anyone know the best way to do this?
Thanks

You only need to run one of the supported backends on one machine and XBMC PVR on the others.

I think xbmc needs to progress a little with the front end for live tv... I use Media portal on a winxp "
"server" with an aver media and a dntv live hd tuner card (3 tuners in total) I just have a remote button that switches from xbmc to media portal which has live tv, recording and scheduling/time shifting capabilities. I never use my tvs tuner anymore and I have this linked to 3 htpcs and my laptop.
If you want to be able to schedule recordings then you need to have a pc that is always running or setup the auto booting features. Because I run downloads and media and backups, a simple server pc does all this easily.
