Ideally I need to be able to record and watch Live TV on Extenders, is this possible with XBMC? Sorry for the noob question, only have used XBMC on Xbox.

Have not tried 9.11 for windows , but 9.11 XBMC Live does not work properly

Is there any solution(app or software) that will enable me to watch LiveTV on a XMBC(any version, but preferrably Windows) from a separate Server with TVTuner (any software or tuners recommentations)?

Ideally my goal is to have only one server with a CableCard Tuner, as well as XMBC installed. This would be my main server/central hub.
Then I would like to have 2 other XBMC installs in the house that can view and change the channel on the servers tuner. Is this possible?

Yes with dvbviewer's recording service it works that way with a older ver of XBMC! (since its broken in 9.11) Hope someone will fix it soon!

My set up

Win 2003 server with dvbviewer's recording service , streams live tv and recordings throu UpNp tom my HTPC with XBMC and 2 old Xbox with XBMC

No epg or schedule recording, only change channel and watch.

If you want to schedule recordings you do that from your pc (not xbmc) with the webservice in dvbviewer's recording.

Would this setup work with the new HD Homerun CableCard?

I think they are referring to the old HD Homerun for tuning QAM, the CableCard version won't be out till later this year, but right now Windows 7 and Xbox360 are the only supported CableCard extenders that I am aware of.

BTW, I appreciate the help.

Is there any way to have real TV interface in xbmc, while streaming from another server such as mythtv or mediaportal?

I saw some plugins, but those are just directory-like browsing, i need real TV interface with easy switching channels and full guide.

Are there any plans to implement feature like that? I need just interface, other can be streamed from separate TV server. And there is probably server for each platform, so it should not be a problem.

That is exactly what is being developed in pvr-testing branch. Search the forum about that.

Just a thought...
Would it be easier in Windows, to implement a USB solution rather than develop stuff to support the variety of PC cards? I have a cheap USB tuner but not sure how to interface to XBMC. I'll give it a try anyway this week and see if I can fiddle about somehow.
(Freecom DVB-T Analog USB Stick)
I don't want to use this in the long run as I am going to look at getting a freesat USB but I am guessing that USB is USB so it might not matter.
It would be good to have a 'sticky' on XBMC TV for windows. I looked at Myth but not into compiling the source, but at least it is an option for the brave !

Can you repost this, it says its reached its limit of 10 downloads. What program does your script run to utilize your tuner? I think I saw something on youtube similar and it looked like beyond TV maybe?

At any rate, id love to try your script and how to set it up.
Thanks

I'm in the same boat... would love to try/wrestle it out. Can you link with something a bit more reliable?
