Reading this thread:
cMyth MythTV addon for the PVR version of XBMC

It looks like a MythTV / OpenELEC combination could be the PVR solution I am looking for. My mandatory requirements are:
  • Must be Wife Friendly - Select 'TV' from the main screen, browse channels, EPG (pulled from the over-the-air embedded EPG data)
  • Must be able to pause, rewind, fast-forward
  • Must be able to record currently watched program with a single remote button press
  • Must be able to schedule recording of individual shows, or a series of shows, via the EPG

Now while Windows 7 Media Centre does this all 'out-of-the-box', I'm willing to put up with a bit of pain installing the MythTV backend and configuring the OpenELEC frontend (including building from source)

Is the MythTV / OpenELEC combination ready to meet my needs?

I´am not quite sure about the timeshift. I didn´t know if XBMC support it.

TVH didn´t support it at the moment, VDR does.

MythTV is somewhat user unfriendly i would test VDR.

So are you saying there is no way to do timeshift in xbmc at all (even with VDR)?

VDR is supporting timeshift, but if the XBMC integration can handle it have to be tested :)

calris - I'm not sure I'd hand it off to the wife just yet... the cmyth code is only just getting there. If you jump into the development thread on xbmc: thread you'll see it's progress.

What are your requirements out of curiosity?
