Hi all,

Any news here? I bought a dualcore dvb-s2 box,running Android 4.2.
It would be very nice if i could install a pvr backend and use XBMC for liveTV.
I was searching around the web, but it seems You are the only guys who are working on a Tv backend for android.

Yeah, I wouldn't like a frankenphone either, but in an android dvb-t box it makes sense. And of course I already have the fitting drivers in there, so I don't really have to care about the kernel that much.

Most of those drivers for external DVB devices have successfully been tested under android, so I can't see a big problem there.
Root access shouldn't be a problem either, for most of the people here.

Can anyone with more experience tell me, if this could help to install TVHeadend on an android device?

It even has the possibility to choose the Raspbian distribution on which TVHeadend already works (At least on the Raspberry itself).
Or is this just a naive noob idea?

EDIT: I just managed to run TVHeadend on my Samsung Galaxy SII for experimental reasons. It IS possible! Of course there is no tuner to be found, but it runs and I a have access to the webinterface.
I did this by running an additional Debian Linux parallel to Android and compiling the sources for it.

I had to cut the timeshifting features, because they wouldn't let me compile and had to add python to the Debian Sqeeze, which is being installed by the Linux Installer app but everything else, worked quite well. At first I tried it with the Raspbian but without success.
