Dushmaniac, are you taking a well-earned break from developing on the PVR or are there some design decisions that need to be worked out before you continue development?
I saw on another thread (I can't remember which) that other XBMC developers were looking to integrate PVR stuff into the main video database instead of adding an extra tab/add-on to the XBMC interface. Is that why development has paused?
I also want to thank you for your work on the PVR up to this point and to let you know that I made a donation not too long ago because I really liked the work that you were doing on the PVR project, and that while the PVR still might not be ready for mainline integration, I have it up and running in a way that I was able to teach my girlfriend (who isn't the most tech-savvy person in the world) to use. I also think, in Europe and other places with mostly free, over the air TV, that the PVR adds a lot to XBMC and makes a really attractive media player software to recommend to people for STBs (if it were a little easier to set-up and find preconfigured boxes with remote and dvb included).
