I tried all the PVR solutions out there and they are not stable, they are too slow and they are damn hard to set up (MySql?!?)
How far are we from a BASIC tv tuner card support? like VLC for example.

IF there are many users who want TV tuner support
and IF no one is working on that
I will consider making a standalone plugin using forked code from VLC.

Yeah but your TV tunes DVB-T anyway, if you want live TV use it.
If you want PVR use a solution that already works well.

XBMC is a complete media center (and i think it's the best there is) not just a video player. It's stands to reason that people will want to manage all their media in one program and one interface.
Besides, only new TVs have built in DVB tuner.

Thay can, simply install a PVR backend. It's not hard.

What backend are you using?
PVRs are complex, it is never going to be completely easy.

i'm using mediaportal.
Tivo is easy to use, there is no reason on earth why XBMC+PVR should be any different

"little configuration" is still configuration and normal users can't hop over that fence.
besides, VDR doesn't work on Windows...

So you want a self configuring PVR that will work in any country with any TV standard and any method of EPG gathering?
Good thing it's an open source project, look forward to your contribution.
