Some Background:
I've been running XBMC on a windows 7 64 bit ultimate install for quite some time now. I've been very happy with all aspects of it - sans 1. I need to switch inputs to watch live TV. I want to rectify that.
On a whim, I picked up a Ceton InfiniTV 4 Digital Cable Quad-tuner Card (PCIe). It arrives tomorrow, cable card is already in hand. I'm looking for advice on where to start.
For now - I'd simply like to be able to watch liveTV within XBMC- and not have to switch all devices (projector/AVR/etc) to a different set of inputs to check the score of a game.
Eventually I'd be interested in things like Picture in Picture, and PVR (I'd like to phase out the $30 a month I'm paying the cable company for DVR service).
So for folks who have gone down this path already - where should I start? I'm open to anything... 'read this 100 page thread'... 'google this'... 'don't do that'... just push me in the right direction.
Thanks!
