You have to use a special version of xbmc called XBMC-PVR http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=136
Mainly you have pick up a DVB card for your HTPC and pick a backend most of the DVB cards are supported by Openelec-PVR out of the box just plug and play. The Live TV function will go to XBMC mainline after EDEN will hit final. XBMC-PVR is as stable as the latest XBMC I have been using this for 2 or 3 years now and Back in the old days this was a real PITA... but now it's flawless for me.
If you are a linux user go with the https://www.lonelycoder.com/tvheadend/ backend it's stable and simple if you think you have the time and skills go for VDR 1.7.x
