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.

Name DVB ATSC / QAM ISDB DTMB CableCard (US) IPTV Recording TimeShift Radio

PVR/Backend PVR/Backend


Other

Notes

  1. Via HDHomerun Prime as the tuner
  2. Only pause/resume are supported in Frodo.
  3. The normal VDR XBMC add-on currently does not have time-shifting support (work in progress), but the "XVDR Plugin for VDR" does.
  4. 4.0 4.1 Via Silicondust HDHomeRun Prime, the Hauppauge WinTV DCR-2650, or the Ceton InfiniTV 4.
