This looks great! I haven't got an HTPC yet, but very soon
I wont be using it for watching TV, so is it only in step 4 i will have to do something different and installing another XBMC version?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I think you could install any other XBMC version there. if I am not mistaken, there is one available in the repos which will probably be ok, but I cannot be sure. Also, it is questionable whether that version was compiled with the option to enable vaapi. Thus, although I am just more or less a novice to XBMC myself, I would recommend using the same version of XBMC, as it has all the other features + PVR.
And if at some point you should decide to buy a DVB-T Stick with Linux support (of which there are a few, as far as I know), it would just be a matter of setting up tvheadend (which takes about 30 minutes) and activating the backend in XBMC and you can also watch TV ...
