Silicon Dust's DVR is not being done as a Kodi backend. Their client is a video add on, not a PVR add on. They said they plan to open the backend API when it's finished, but they are about 8 weeks behind schedule. (It was supposed to be released in October.) Someone could make a PVR add on using their backend, but presently it's not possible.

I know that their CURRENT addon is just a Python script addon that does not use the PVR API, that is not what this thread or subforum is about (just look at some of my other posts here in this subforum and it should be very clear I know the difference).

What I was trying to get across is that I think that SiliconDusk should be interested in also having an official PVR client addon for Kodi that uses Kodi's PVR API with their HDHomeRun network tuners acting as PVR backend.

No, I fully understood what you meant. However, if you checked out the SD forums, you would see that they seem to be showing no interest whatsoever in making a proper PVR add on for Kodi, and are only pursuing their own video add on. Many (most?) of the Kodi users on the SD forums have indicated that they want to see a proper PVR add on, and most are dissatisfied with SD's guide implementation; however SD still seems to be showing no interest.

If you add to that SD is 2 months behind schedule on their DVR software (it was supposed to be complete and shipping in Oct, but is still missing features), then it becomes easy to see that their video add on is the only avenue they are pursuing for Kodi users, despite their customers' wishes. They have indicated that they plan on publishing the DVR API, but only after it is complete. (And whether complete means feature complete, or when they have finally built all of their clients as well, is open for interpretation.)
