Hello everyone, I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone could help me with, I have a windows 7 based HTPC based on Windows MCE and media browser that I'm hoping to migrate to Linux and XBMC, my hardware is as follows

Motherboard: ASUS M3A78-EM
Video card: ASUS HD5450 1GB GDR3
Wireless USB adapter: ASUS N10
TV capture card: Genpix Skywalker-2
DVDRW: I forgot the model number but its also by ASUS
Remote: Microsoft MCE remote and keyboard shown here



My media library is housed in a different machine also running windows 7, and it currently has eight 2TB hard drives in RAID 5 using a RocketRaid 2680 card

Ultimately I would like to move the Raid card and hard drives to the HTPC, but for now they will stay in the server machine

I would like to have Linux(Ubuntu) + XBMC + TVheadend to replace my existing setup, my problem is I know nothing about Linux or XBMC or Tvheadend, and I'm having a hard time finding the information I'm looking for in (reasonably) easy to follow instructions (hopefully in one place )

So here are the questions:

1) Can XBMCLive do all of the above?
2) Are there any (reasonably) easy to follow guides for what I'm trying to do?


3) Once the above task is completed, can my setup stream satellite TV to an AppleTV?

Thank you for any help and I apologize if my post was long to read
