Hello everybody,
I'm very new to xbmc and to this forum!
I've used xbmc on htpc with linux Ubuntu for couple weeks and got some questions I couldn't find answers for!
First of all I'm interested how can I (I'm sure this can be done) get DVB-S2 tuner work with xbmc!? I have no idea how to do this! Please HELP!!!!!!!

XBMC does not natively support dvb devices. There is work in progress going on on a branch that will eventually allow xbmc to be used as a frontend to other dvb apps, like vdr, mythtv or tvheadend and there are some "interim" solutions availabe atm, do a search for "tvheadend" for example.

Thank you for your answer!!!
So I can get XBMC work with mythtv (integrated)?
And dose mythtv supports DVB-S2?

the integration is being worked on in a special branch. search for "unified pvr" in the forum. Just be warned that it's slow work and might take a while before it makes it to trunk. In the meantime, there are two ways to get mythtv streams into xbmc:
1- native: search the mythtv (or xbmx's) wiki for "mythtv://"
2- search for the mythtv plugin in this forum
as for mythtv and what it supports, i believe this would be better answered in the mythtv wiki.
