@all want to test
For xbmc , today you can get the nightly. Later prefer the same commit forked by cfetzer to avoid any disappointment. Br

So I think I will tell him that it is easier and cheaper to go the mcard route, but if he has anything other than basic cable to consider analog capture as an option. The issue with analog is the tune time is longer because of IR blaster. Everything is a tradeoff so it depends on the situation I think. But if you have dish, you dont really have a choice but to capture what is coming out of the STB outputs. Thanks
Janbar,
I'll have some additional feedback for you with my analog card tonight. Been busy with work and my Win7 workstation wont boot now so I need to rebuild. From my limited testing though it looks like once I tune it works and can survive a show transition without stopping. As for tuning, It should be able to start playback in 10s after I select a channel (channel change script for IR blaster, channel lock by set top box, and buffering) and it does sometimes. Other times it can take anywhere from 10s-80s. After I hit 80s it will time out and drop me to the channel select screen.
And as soon as I posted it stopped between shows, lol

Aubrien,
I have Cincinnati Bell Fioptics and everything I get is not marked with any type of copy protection, IE CCI=null; I don't subscribe to any premium channels so can't speak for them.
by the way, I have a Hauppage HD PVR card if your friend decides to go that route. I'll sell it cheap.

@fiveisalive: great, thanks!
Plan is to create a PR for the addon's repo as soon as it's ready and stable. And I think we're on a good way.
However I'm not sure if it can be merged before Frodo because of the feature freeze. I'll clarify this.
@kburkart: Yes that should work. If you clone the addon into xbmc/pvr-addons then the xbmc build will automatically trigger the addon build.
