Since I've gone down the Tvheadend path for myself and to help start the wiki guide for PVR (wiki), I was hoping someone might be able to guide me in getting some info.
1. For myself, when I compiled (something I don't normally do, but turned out to be very easy) Tvheadend on Crystalbuntu (wiki) on my ATV1, I still had to install a driver for my USB tuner (ATSC/QAM in the US). Will most users need to take the extra step to install a driver for their tuner card, or maybe that's just an ATSC thing, and DVB is different? I would assume that regardless of TV signal, some type of driver is needed, but wasn't sure if maybe some "work out of the box".
2. The Tvheadend set up page (PVR/Backend/Tvheadend (wiki)) will contain a "quick start guide" for the most basic steps one would take from having Tvheadend installed to getting a signal to XBMC. If anyone has any advice on what to include here, that would be great
3. Since the XBMC wiki page will only contain the very basics, any links to more complete guides would be very welcome.
4. Also looking for links and guides for setting up Tvheadend on a Pogo Plug, Dock Star, and other ARM devices.
5. Anything else you can think of that would help new users set up PVR with Tvheadend.
