not natively, but look on the forums, I've seen lots of posts in the past on how to get tv streaming into XBMC...

I've seen the solution for linux but was looking for windows!

I have been trying to search through the forums for the past week wondering the same thing. How can we get live TV in XBMC from a tuner card installed on my Windows device?

The only option I found was maybe, possibly MythTV installed on windows which according to the MythTV wiki isn't really supported (with the installation guide I tried I wasn't able to get past step one) in windows.

dvbviewer hast a server service which provides a upnp server which can be used by xbmc ... just to say. also dvbviewer is one of the best tv apps for windows in my eyes, best 15 bucks i've ever spend!

We've wanted to support mediaportals tv server for ages, but there was no api that could be used outside of .net, so it never got anywhere.

The only tv servers we have some support for ar tvheadend, vdr and myth. All linux based servers. Sorry.

Well from te page of DVBView I read:

free SDK (Delphi)

The SDK contains only related material for the Proversion of the DVBViewer but gives you a sneak preview about the power which sleeps inside the application only waiting to get used Smile

.

Download (0,3 MB)
Download time @ 56kb < 1 min

Could this help?

Is Delphi code so it should not be .Net

this one is open source:

and working on PC ... probably the right component is the TV Server
