Hey, I'm new to the forum here...I'm a longtime Windows Media Center user, always been curious about XBMC.
I like WMC7, never once had any problems with it until I rebuilt my living room HTPC with a beefier mobo/processor/ram, lost all of my previous recorded shows due to codec or copyright blah-de-plah. Essentially we use our WMC7 HTPC mainly for recording Live TV and watching HD movies. From what I've gathered, XBMC doesnt support live TV? Is this correct? Or are there updates/plug-ins to support such things?
I've also learned that Microsoft might no longer be showing any love to WMC7, so XBMC might be a good choice to move to? I'm very concerned about the live TV aspect though, since we DVR many-a-show.
Any ideas? Help? Input? I'd love to give it a try.
I appreciate any input!
