newbie question: S89 and live tv

[mmandel]

Hey,

tried searching the forum, didnt find much.
I've ordered the S89-H - my first android non-phone device.

what's the best / typical setup to use it for live tv (DVB-T)?
I guess XBMC + some addons?
what kind of TV tuner hardware is the best for that?
would i be able to have PVR functionality aswell?

many thanks!

ok, starting to answer my own question:

- any basic TV tuner card should work (as long as it's USB and has linux support)
- need to compile the needed kernel modules (for dvb + hardware specific). i guess there isnt much included in the ROM (or hardcoded in the kernel ...)
- need to compile tvheadend for arm
- need to use tvheadend addon for xbmc

i'll update this once i have any real results

Yes, keep us updated.

oh f**k, there is no kernel source available from tronsmart (yet), right?

Not a real update on my side, but maybe useful for somebody who has kernel source for S89:
