Alaska Live TV discussion - freigeist - 2010-10-24
I have already searched this forum but can not find any information how to enable Live TV Support in Alaska (if it is possible at all). I'm using the latest pvr-testing, any advice how to get support for the live tv in this awesome skin?
- Hitcher - 2010-10-24
Seeing as I don't have any PVR equipment it's unlikely.
- freigeist - 2010-10-24
Bad news...if I add pvr support to your skin, is it likely you will include it in your repository?
- Hitcher - 2010-10-24
Probably not because I couldn't test it and/or maintain it.
- freigeist - 2010-10-24
Is there anything that could convince you to bring us pvr support? Maybe you need a DVB USB Stick?

send hitcher a tuner that may work haha
- freigeist - 2010-10-26
If this will help, I will do it (or better: send him the money he needs for buying a simple one).

@freigeist: so we are two.
Alaska -a very good skin - is only a half skin with the next version of xbmc if pvr support is not builded in...

Hitcher I will buy you a USB tuner or a PCI tuner.. let me know if you'd like...
Or I can get you a NewEgg giftcard so you can buy your own!
it's the least I can do for someone who's made my life a LOT easier! you have a lot of happpy people on this forum and we'd LOVE to see this feature (along with the "play random episode" feature .. *nudge nudge*) In all seriousness though let me know because I have some extra cash (having a good month) and would love to see alaska with some Live TV support!
Thanks a bunch.

^^what 420p said^^ i'd be happy to send you a couple of £ to put towards a tuner of some sort if you could include pvr support in your skin
- Hitcher - 2010-12-14
Thanks for the offers guys. What would you recommend?

hitcher> i'm in portsmouth, not too far from you!

HDHomerun is a very popular tuner, especially since it is network based you can use it on any PC on your network... ideal candidate for XBMC.
- mots - 2010-12-16
Yeah, but for HDHomerun to work with TVHeadend you need to compile a kernel driver and an userspace app.
Not that that's that much of a problem (3 "thats"? Really?), but I guess users new to linux should include that in their consideration...
