Tvheadend is a TV streaming server for Linux supporting DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-C, DVB-T, ATSC, IPTV, and Analog video (V4L) as input sources and can be used as a PVR backend of XBMC.
 
Tvheadend does not currently support Timeshifting or live rewind, however all other PVR functions should work without issue.
 
==Preinstalled options==
The following XBMC/OS distributions come with Tvheadend already installed, or easily installed as an option. These are great one-stop solutions that can greatly simplify the installation of the backend, as well as various other benefits unique to those distros.
*[[OpenELEC]]

==Installing Tvheadend==
 
;Basic
:Most Debian and Ubuntu installations can take advantage of the standard [[w:Advanced Packaging Tool|APT]] installation methods for getting Tvheadend installed, either using a GUI package manager, or from the command line using "<code>apt-get install tvheadend</code>".
 
:For more info, see: https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Download

==Tvheadend quick start guide==
{{incomplete}}
If your tuner hardware is not detected or is having issues, check http://linuxtv.org for driver support.
 
#Make sure Tvheadend is up and running- https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Install_and_initial_setup
#All configuration is done in a web browser. If you are on the same machine that Tvheadend is installed then point your browser to http://localhost:9981 . If you are on a different machine than Tvheadend, then point your browser to <nowiki>http://IP.ADDRESS.GOES.HERE:9981</nowiki> , where IP.ADDRESS.GOES.HERE = the IP address of the machine that Tvheadend is installed on. ''For example, http://192.168.0.3:9981''
 
==Connecting XBMC to Tvheadend==
{{highlight|color=orange|'''Note:''' PVR add-ons are not currently hosted in the XBMC add-on repo.}}

#Go to {{highlight|Settings -> Add-ons -> Enabled add-ons -> PVR Clients}} and select the Tvheadend add-on
