Ok, I will start next week (when my USB-Sat-Adapter arrives) with tvheadend and maybe an yavdr installation in an vm.
Ive red up on tvheadend and vdr (with vnsi-server) so at least this two I will test for myself.
maybe Im superduper-bored (However I doubt that working in the news-biz and with a small child at home
) and I also setting up mythtv also. since they all run on linux and rely on dvb-s driver most of the tricky driver related stuff is the same for them.
I thought about something like a feature/performance-Checklist for backend-support in xbmc-pvr in 2 parts:
XBMC-Plugin-Related
time to switch channel.
EPG-Data (Import is more Backend-Stuff)
Time-shifting (is that even integrated in XBMC yet)
Recording (imho doesnt work with any backend)
TV-Backend-Related
DVB-EPG-Data
XMLTV-EPG-Data
Encrypted Channel-Support
Easy of installation/configuration
Any more input for the feature-checklist?
My specific project will be using my appletv as xbmc-pvr all-in-one-thingi, so maybe some things are not standard (e.g. sticking to old Nvidia-Drivers for HDMI-Audio and a patched kernel.
