Im also interested in trying the box. HDHomerun would make a nice couple with my ion box =)
What i wonder is which box will be more future proof, an hdhomerun or an dreambox ??
I have not made upp my mind what to get and what will be best for the pvr branch.

I too have a HDhomerun box pulling in over the air HDTV and would love to see it working with TV Guide and DVR from inside my Revo running XBMC Live.

Any owner of a Revo who wants to use the PVR branch one day should be a huge HDhomerun fan!

I’m setting up a dedicated XBMC HTPC this week and need some direction on adding Live TV and PVR functionality.
First I’d like to state how utterly impressed I am with the project. I did an XBMC Live installation immediately after putting the hardware together and was pleasantly surprised at how well everything worked out of the box. As an engineer I deal with a lot of terrible software every day and it’s refreshing to see a product with this high level of polish and stability. My thanks to all XBMC contributors for their work on this fantastic project.
My hardware configuration is the following:
- Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11 (ION 2 chipset, 2 GB DDR2, 32 GB SSD)
- 2 TB external HDD (5400 RPM, eSATA)
- HDHomeRun dual digital tuner (to clearQAM cable)
The HTPC will be hooked up to our living room HDTV and will take on media streaming as well as live TV / DVR duties. As I mentioned above I’ve got a basic XBMC Live install running very well, and now I need to add Live TV and DVR functionality. I’ve done some research on the forums and although I have found a lot of information, I’m not sure which is applicable to my needs and hardware configuration. I would appreciate some pointers on how to get started.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am personally very excited about this development. I have been playing with the driver for two weeks now...

Hi, I'm very happy to see a reply to my post.
I test this driver and I think it will be a good componant for the next gen XBMC with PVR add-on. But I don't know why, noboby talks about it in the forum.
