using the PI as a PVR - bugs - 19th Feb, 2013 10:58 PM
Hi all,
Iv just registered here and a bit of a newb so apologies for the dumb questions. I have a Raspberry Pi model A and have been toying what to do with it, and I quite like the idea of the XBIAN running on the PI and have it like a media centre.
I was thinking as well it would be really cool if I can get digital TV playing through it too and have it as a PVR either saving to an external HD or to a VERY big SDcard. Does XBIAN already have this inbuilt or is it on the horizon?
Thanks

PVR is already supported
(you of course need some hardware like a DVB stick in order to get it working)

just noticed you have RPi v A so you do not have a LAN connector. Im not sure how this will work for you

USB hub

I was thinking a USB hub and either a large usb external harddrive as storage or make a separate partition on the SDcard.
I`m assuming there is a list of supported DVB's somewhere?
Also I thinking of getting a model B board for this as the ethernet port would be nice for any future developments and its got double RAM
