NO...

The work arounds might be software for the TV card, might allow a save in a specific directory, and this folder is seen by XBMC, if the codec is playable.

but if its going to be save... it wont be " live " , it will be recorded

how about the tv streamer plugin, does it work ?

The Live Streams plugin is about 'real time' video streams over the internet, but that is certainly not the same as broadcast video through a tuner card. It's about maximizing the available internet streams, and can be quite satisfying. The word 'Live' is a kinda of oxymoron... all video is an arms length from live.

You could use the Elgato HDHomeRun. I use my HDHomeRun with XBMC on Windows 7.
I "capture" the live streams. It's manual, one channel at a time, no channel up/down... but it works until the PVR branch is more developed!

Could you not configure the advanced launcher to launch the software that came with your TV tuner?

There MIGHT be software out there to take the output of the TV card and turn it into a stream. You then take that stream and play it generically in XBMC.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.
