I'm also thinking about using SAT>IP. But current receivers don't seem to be that good. So I have a few questions about XBMC.
1. Can I record using EPG?
2. Can I just switch channels or do I always have to navigate through the structure to select a channel?
3. Are there any disadvantages with SAT>IP (in general and/or XBMC related)?

I think the only solution is still how I described above, there is no native support for SAT>IP protocol. So make sure to use a SAT>IP server with M3U support.
1. Didn't try that, but afaik should the addon support recording
2. Yes, works fine. Like with many other DVB clients, the zapping is quite slow in the current official XBMC version. With optimized demuxing it's aound 1 sec.
3. In my opinion mostly advantages. No need to run a PC server in parallel and other devices as tablets or Laptops can also receive the satellite signal.

Thanks for your reply.
1. Would it be possible that you test it?
I need to decide if I'm going to use SAT>IP or Unicable. At the moment SAT>IP is my favorit (replace all sat cables with lan cables) but recording with epg is something I want ;-)
Would be really great if you could test it.

Thank you very much for checking.
So I will probably buy a IP-Satelliten-Receiver. Maybe in a few month/years xbmc will have a better support for SAT>IP.
Thanks again.

Tvheadend is not proprietary and you don't need three boxes to use SAT>IP so I don't know what you're ranting about.
