    Please search before posting, Boxee does not support TV Tuners (nor does it have any built-in PVR functions) yet.

    Yes, Boxee doesn't support TV tuners.... but it supports mythbackend, which supports TV tuners. I think you'll still have to use mythfrontend to set recordings... but once they're recorded, you can watch them from within Boxee by adding a "localhost://mythtv" source. And of course, you won't get the auto-commercial skip feature from mythtv either, but oh well.

    the epic 'tv tuner' thread: http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=178

    i run boxee 0.9.20 on: ubuntu 9.10, windows xp sp3 (virtual machine), windows 7 and a neuros link hacked to all hell.

    what super powers does a 'super mod' have? the 'super ban'... that, and laser vision.

    please read the thread i posted.

    there are many plans, and a few working plugins.
    also, search the forums for: eyetv, beyondtv, or mythtv depending on your platform.
