Hi guys, my name is Jordan, im 16 years old and new to this site so sorry if im placing this thread in the incorrect spot.
Lately i have been getting into making my own pvr, i bought a dual HD TV usb dongle, i also have a old laptop laying around which i have taken out of its body and just use it to muck around with but lately i got thinking, it would be good to make a pvr but im not always able to get to the TV in my house such as someone is watching a DVD on the TV so i got thinking, what if the xbmc could send live TV through your local network to your i pad or android tablet or even your PC, i looked around and there are devices that do this but i don't want a ready built device i want something that i can make and tinker with, i found a company called orb TV who did exactly what i wanted but they have recently shut down. i just want to be able to make a device that i connect up the TV antenna and connect it to the WiFi and could host TV around my local network for free, but this leaves one last problem, do you make an app for the android and apple devices or do you make it so its a web browser where you just put in the IP of the XBMC PVR. I know there are some people out there who are going to say you can stream recorded tv from the PVR to your network but i want to be able to watch live TV and recorded TV and also tell the PVR what to record from the tablet.
i have been trying to make a program myself but i don't have neither the skills or the knowledge so im asking you guys for help, could someone make an app for XBMC which can do this or make this a stock feature of XBMC
Thank you
P.S sorry about my spelling and grammar, its not my strong suit
