Options for streaming analog cable TV to XBMC?

Post by AZImmortal »

Does anyone have any suggestions (if they exist) for streaming analog cable TV to XBMC over the network that doesn't involve computers? I was looking at the HDHomerun and it seemed perfect because of XBMC support, but then I found out that it doesn't support analog cable. I know that I can set up a computer with a tuner card but I'd like to avoid doing that if possible. Thanks.

I actually don't know if this is possible, I always watch live tv through navi-x. But analog cable, I think it isn't possible, but that's just what I think.

I forgot all about dreambox, there use to be an how-to article on our old wiki if I remember this correctly.

I hadn't heard of the Dreambox until now. Unfortunately, it looks like they're hard to come by in my area.

How much should these boxes cost? And does anyone have a link for buying them in the US?
