Live tv through xbmc
#1
ok, i just have a quick question and most likely i'm going to get denied. here is my situation. i only have one cable line coming into my house and it's just a standard cable package. no set top box or satellite. my theater room is upstairs and i'd like to be able to watch live (or with little delay) tv though my projector. i have an xbox and pc connected to the projector and was wondering if there is a possibility to watch tv over the network if i station a pc by the coax connection. any input would help xbox or pc related. due to my condo i can't run a coax through the wall and i don't want to have lose wire running up the stairs.

thanks

hi.

what you are describing is possible. however, your results might vary.

you are certainly going to need a tvcard in the computer and some sort of streaming software. windows media encoder is available free from microsoft.

another two that have had a front-end encoded in python are mythtv (for linux) and mytheater (for windows). i strongly suggest that you search for them in the python forums or on xbmc scripts.
