Does anyone know if the xbox to PVR prog ever made it to release?

Cheers

i don`t think it did.

i asked whether a "modded" xbox could be used as a pvr on the xbox-scene
forums. the consensus(sp?) was that it can`t.....shame really.

i think the main problem was the fact that it would require some kind of capture
card / tuner which would probably be a bitch to implement.

Ah nuts what a pity. That was the only justification I needed to buy an Argos cheapo!


Cheers Ste!

LOL :D

i`ve been trying to convince my missus that it would be a good idea to buy another
xbox (@£49.99) but she`s having none of it.

Hey Ste, did you know some are using a Digibox as a tuner to complete the xbox PVR setup. Some discussion over at dvd forums about it.

Hey Ste, looks like those lot have pulled the thread..... Someone must have mentioned Argos or perhaps the xbox to PVR hack/softmod was to hardcore for them!

I love that forum :/ :D

has anyone tried using one of those usb tv-tuners in an xbox?

would that work?

that`s pretty much the question that i asked on xbox-scene.

the problem lies with the fact that you would need to load drivers for a USB
adaptor to work...which would mean that you would need another OS running
on the `box. no doubt some clever git could get one working with an adaptation
of linux.....not me though, i`m thick!

I think the main problem is that the Xbox only supports USB 1.1, you really need the bandwidth of USB 2 to use a tuner.

You won`t get drivers to run under the Xbox O/S but I would imagine that you would be able to get one working under Linux.

Many people have asked this as it would be a great addition to the excellent XBMC, but I have never read of any suuccess, it really is down to the USB limitation.

In a similar vein, has anybody successfully set-up live streaming of TV from a pc with tuner to XBMC?
