Hi,
I've been browsing for a while now, trying to figure out how to get xbmc to talk to a tv tuner card for scheduling and playback. I haven't got a tv tuner card, so I've been researching my options. From what I can gather, these are my options:
SageTV : Has a frontend script. Hasnt been updated in a while. Not too sure if it's still working.
MythTV : Linux, so not an option for me.
MyTheatre: Satellite based.
MyTV: This is the one I'm really interested in. Throughout the 40 something page thread, it mentions scheduling and controlling of hauppage tv cards. Unfortunately, there is no clear documentation on what it can and can't do. From the readme, it seems you can set-up a nebula or hauppage card, and schedule it for recording.
Basically, I'm after a way of scheduling and playing back OTA digital tv (in australia), on a windows pc. I'd like to have an attractive and functional script.
Can anyone recommend the best script for this? Are there any sites with more information (and possibly screenshots) of MyTV? Or other alternatives? About the only info I can seem to find on MyTV is in the development thread.
