Let's start by saying I'm an XBMC fan and move on..
I'm in the process of writing an easy guide, more out of frustration than anything else. I have found that bits of information exists over literally thousands of posts and what would seem almost as many forums. Getting Live TV working with just some of the back ends can be very daunting to most people and again I repeat earlier comment.. to much information spread across so many pages.. and sometimes too much information is a bad thing!
So having spent weeks, months and what seems like years playing with and experimenting on XBMC and PVR backends I have finally nailed a few operationally efficient solutions in both Windows and Linus ( Raspberry Pi ) and I'm going to share my thoughts and step by step builds with links THAT WORK when built and installed.
Lookout for the guide in the next few days or week.
Just a thought!
I have posted on various occasions my thoughts on Unified media centers.. In my opinion there is no better HTPC than XBMC full stop IF YOUR WILLING to get your hands dirty, however until someone draws a line and unifies Live TV with an attractive EPG, gets pause and other player controls working XBMC will always be an experiment just waiting for the competition to snap at its heels. May I also express my gratitude to those who have poured there lives into this development, without your dedication and expertise the rest of us would have nothing to moan about. So please understand this is about product improvement and any critism is not leveled at individuals but the solution.
In short what is the exit strategy?
Thankyou
