I have a Windows 7 box running Media Center with a hauppauge satellite tuner card - after a lot of messing about I got the system running really well, and have a Raspberry Pi with OpenElec which I connect to it.
But last week I connected a hauppauge DVB-T USB card to it and installed the drivers, initially it worked, but then it would hang after a few days. I removed the USB card and did a system restore - but the hanging still continues...
... I'm just fed up with messing about with a the PC - its too fragile, easily messed up and the drivers are too flakey.
So I'm wondering if there is a new way...
What i need is a really reliable, feature rich, easy to set up recorder that I can connect to using XBMC / OpenElec.
So I'm wondering if I can but an off the shelf PVR - something like the Samsung Bd_h8500m and access it using XBMC via DLNA.
Is this possible, has anyone set up XBMC to access an off the shelf PVR system??
If this wouldn't work, is there anything else that would do the job.
I'd appreciate some advice.
Thanks.
