Ok so just starting yo get into looking at adding live tv support. I have been trying to figure out best way to do this without adding another computer or running one 24/7.
I have two xbmc one is windows 7 other 8.1.
I use unraid for server. (Have did some looking as far as using backend since already up 24/7 but no luck)
Plan on purchasing hdhomerun prime and renting cable card through Verizon Fios (currently only have "local tv" channels through fios so not sure need card yet)
I don't really have a need for recording tv, but want a guide and would like it integrated into xbmc. Do I need a backend if I don't want recording features? If I do, it's my understanding you don't for using WMC so how can I easily switch between the two programs? Can I run WMC through xbmc?
Thanks for time. Let know if missed anything.

I'm planning on making a guide for HDHomeRun Prime with EPG via the SimpleIPTV PVR add-on. I'll leave a note here when I do.

You don't need a backend for HDHomeRun Prime if you don't want to record. The Prime basically is the backend itself.
