Two words for everything; DEAD PROJECT

This would of never seen the light of day from what I gathered back then and it looks like I was right. Doesn't matter though. I got a PC for that job. Xbox doesn't have to do everything a PC can.

I love the idea to do a PVR from My Xbox simply by pluging a USB tuner TV....

For now Im using another solution closer to the starting idea of this project:

My Pc have a PCI bt848 tv. I install windvr and cr***k it (Just for testing)
so my cable box its pluged on the PC, and I have a network cable running from my pc
to my Xbox.
So the pc never stop writting the file on an  HDD... and the Xbox with XBMC never stop reading.
that way, If I press pause on XBMC , my tv program stop... then I can go forward/backward.

This way also allow me to record program with Windvr at scheduled time and watch them
straight via the network on my xbox (who its plug on my tv and digital sound system, so you wont see a difference. Only if you have HDtv).

Im pretty happy about the system and my wife too the only problem is My wife not really happy regarding the 3 cables going trough the hallway :-) I hide them below a carpet but she said its not nice I guess there is a price to pay....

was just a thought how to record TV programs and pausing program easily with the price of a TV card ($40) and a old PIII 500mhz 256 Mo ram (Priceless ).

Good luck for your project... Im an computer and electronics guy so I will monitor the forum and if I can be any help......

What an xbox connects to something like a slingbox thats connected to the web?

why use a pc  how about installing xdsl distro on xbox and then get a device that can be installed on linux to do the capture to hdd example like save it to movies folder and when its done recording just view it on xbmc ...
