Question  2009-05-28, 14:11
I heard of some people using XBMC Media Center this way for hotels, condominium complexes, and such.

XBMC has a MythTV and VDR client so you could just use those, or a hardware solution such as HDHomeRun or Dreambox/Dbox2 as the backend:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HDHomeRun
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=TuxBox
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=MythTV

You could alternatively setup VideoLAN to stream to XBMC, see:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO:_Play...et_Streams
and:

Using XBMC as the frontend, and then something like HDHomeRun, Dreambox, MythTV, VDR, or VideoLAN as the backend.


For a hospital I would probably look at HDHomeRun first, they are a commercial version of the box as well:

@theophile, why would you go and recommend something other than XBMC for the frontend? Rolleyes

Why not setup XBMC Media Center as the front-end, and something else as the back-end? - by Gamester17 - 2009-05-28, 14:11
