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.
hdhomerun:// network protocol
The hdhomerun:// protocol was released as a supported source in XBMC Media Center 8.10 and later.
To communicate with a HDHomeRun, add a new Source from the videos section in XBMC, the source should have a URL that looks like:
<xml>
<name>HDHomeRun</name> <path>hdhomerun://</path>
