How do I use a TV Tuner in XBMC?

I'm using one port of XBMC that together with the TVServer from Media Portal, adds TV to XBMC.

It is a good solution and quite simple indeed. To XBMC fans (like me), I really recommend a try.

• Documentation and installation

I am not affiliated with this project but I am really quite happy to have my XBMC with TV at home.

I am using XBMC on Windows.

August 2008: XBMC's Linux port lacks impressive features bottom line is,

XBMC media center is a capable media center application. Even the feature-incomplete Linux port is better and more comprehensive than a standalone media player, but it could still use some more features. I'd especially like to see OSD controls for the music player as well as the Web interface.

Today, XBMC is still best for people who own an Xbox. If you want a full-featured media center for your Linux desktop, consider an application like LinuxMCE that has TV tuner support and home automation controls.

You could look up MythTV and integration with XBMC on Linux
(but, maybe you've already done that).

The XBMC port that includes support for TV tuners is project Media Portal
