Thanks for your answers. I currently use mythfrontend, and I just wanted to test XBMC as frontend. I'll come back is some weeks to test again

Thanks for all your hard work.

Therefore, you realistically have two choices (both involve building from source):
1) Pull down Dtierney's git-hub repo (he links to it in a post above) and compile. This is, I guess, the "official" mythtv plugin branch. However: 1) Not all functions like timers and so forth work correctly. 2) There is not a great pace of development, so it lags behind Dushmaniac's official PVR repo (and by extension the Mainline XBMC repo).
2) Pull down tsp's new libcmyth plugin branch. Details here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=894244&postcount=1
It's pretty new and maybe we don't know the staying power of the developer (although he's been great and responsive so far), but all timers and so forth are working, bugs are being ironed out (haven't found any yet in the latest build). If you're running a mythbackend (and I prefer it to TVHeadend) then you need this version.... at least until Dteirney's branch becomes more up-to-date...
Hope this helps,
Jim

Or has PVR support been dropped for Eden entirely? If so, that would be very unfortunate as I believe it was originally scheduled for Camelot, then Eden, and now may be more than 2 years since it was originally announced, see:
http://xbmc.org/theuni/2010/02/06/coming-soon/
Note that announcement says: "Probably the most requested feature for XBMC." but the devs don't seem interested to merge into mainline XBMC.
