PVR/Contents

This map will give you a basic idea of what to look for if you are unsure what format/standard your TV signal is in.


I want to run my PVR backend server on...

You can run the PVR backend server on one of your existing XBMC installs, or on its own.


Using the tables below, click on the backend software which best fits your needs.

Tvheadend Yes Yes ? ? Yes[1] Yes ? ? ?
VDR Yes Yes ? ? Yes Yes ? ? ?

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is technically just an embedded linux platform, but it's low price and features make it perfect for a PVR backend. In addition to this, since a lot of people will hopefully be using R-Pi's as backends, it will make it easier to streamline setup guides and provide help due to most of the hardware being the same for everyone.
