Having an HDHomeRun box on your network allows you to watch Live TV directly from XBMC.
What is HDHomeRun?
HDHomeRun (by SiliconDust) is a stand-alone Networked Digital Cable TV/HDTV Tuner box available in two models, one ATSC (American market) model and one DVB-T/DVB-C model (Europe/Australia/New Zealand/Taiwan).
You connect the TV antenna cable to the HDHomeRun box and it will scan and tune all channels, and via its built-in network-port the HDHomeRun box willl share and stream the channels over local-network using to supported clients such as XBMC.
