Hi,
I am wanting to set up a fresh Linux XBMC PVR setup.
I installed openelec (using pulse-eight's pvr version) which booted in 15 seconds and was slick but there is a problem with TVHeadend not waking the system for scheduled recordings which is a deal breaker.
I would prefer to use a single install, e.g. PVR backend software and XBMC on the same PC but have the option of a PVR backend on a PC and using Crystalbuntu, already installed on my old Apple TV Gen 1, as the front end.
Can you recommend the best set up that would allow all of the functions of a PVR setup like being able to sleep and wake the system to record but also is simple without alot of unnessessary software like a full blown linux distro (e.g. openoffice etc) and is the most "appliance" like. I loved how openelec didn't feel like XBMC could crash to a linux desktop (that would be a fail in my wife's eyes).
Look forward to your thoughts
Thanks
Dave
