PVR

The old version of this page was moved to Talk:PVR

Template:Frodo As of v12 (Frodo), XBMC supports Personal Video Recorder (PVR) controls and features when paired with a PVR "backend". A PVR backend is a second process/application that can either run on the same machine running XBMC, on a stand-alone device (able to feed several XBMC machines), or completely by itself with XBMC only running when needed. When paired with a backend, XBMC handles the interface allowing the user to watch live TV, scheduled recordings, time shift (not yet supported), etc.

Due to the somewhat complicated nature of setting up PVR for XBMC, this guide was created to help users from start to finish.
