Hmmm.
I don't have any issues watching TV on my XBMC box using pvr-testing2 branch. There are a few glitches and bugs but that's to be expected from unstable/in development software.
I can see 'Sly' and a bunch of other providers using 2x HVR4000. You just have to find the best solution...
BTW, I have owned countless dreamboxes over the years and the latest models (800/8000) still can't get close to a proper configured XBMC. I still own 2 but I'm seriously considering ditching them after pvr branch is merged into trunk and stabilized.
Unless you just want to watch TV - in that case it's a great product - media watching/listening on dreamboxes is a joke... a bad taste joke for a product that *could* be great. That's what you gain for closing the source on kernel/drivers/whatever level...
However I will concede on this: TV functionality on dreamboxes is the best. I have a list of things to put on trac tickets to mimic dreamboxes functionality. Their navigation system through channels is unbeatable. 5 keys give you all the control you'll ever need.
hudo
