Hi!

I just stumbled over XBMC on my search for the perfect media center - the all-in-one solution I ever searched for :-)

XBMC looks terrific, the only thing I am wondering about is what TV cards are supported and if I can use it instead of DVBViewer to watch TV.
If so, is there also EPG support?

Thanks!

Well, I thought that is an easy question for experts.
Noone able to answer this?

the reason why no one has answered yet is because your question is a basic look up @ wiki away.. so.. look it up..


i'll give you a hint it .. not yet.
(there is a dreambox system inplace and myth system)

We are currently in development of an native XBMC GUI interface that will when complete fully work as a (unified) PVR front-end, however it is still in early development and is not yet part of the main branch of XBMC, but if you which you can read more about that endeavor here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=GSoC_-_Unified_PVR_Frontend

XBMC does however already have a built-in MythTV client (that is also in early development) which lets you playback pre-recorded video files from a MythTV backend (without any PVR control), see:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=2297

There is also a basic python script addon for XBMC available that let you fully control your MythTV backend, with an EPG and all:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcmythtv/

So while the short answer is; yes it is possible, the long answer is still that the upcoming native PVR front-end and API side in XBMC is not quite 'production' ready yet.
