I have been playing with this on and off as well with the 'dream' of one box to rule them all - XBMC being the unified frontend. This dream seems to be tantalising close with the next release of XBMC (v12 'Frodo') - more here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR#How_does_live_TV.2FPVR_work_in_XBMC.3F I tried the dev releases and it seemed promisingly slick (with all the caveats of a dev release). The biggest software obstacle was the complexity of tuning the backend, especially since I have a motorised satellite setup. More about backends here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR/Backend Ultimately the biggest challenge is the hardware. I had budget for one try at a tuner card and settled for the TBS 8921. I had to compile in the drivers and the card functioned, but caused Ubuntu 11.10 to hang during shutdown (a deal breaker for me). Also, you would be looking for a dual card with Mpeg 4 decoder for terrestrial signal as well as satellite. My search for such a device yielded no result in the 'linux supported' category. Of course - if your box has space - you could get two separate tuner cards. Anyway - my verdict - a complete solution is close, but not quite there. When it is there, it will be awesome!

TV Headend has support for DiSeq switching, which includes motorized dishes. It's well worth looking in to.

I'm in Italy, and I've been watching some RTE TV programs (ones you are allowed to watch outside Ireland) on my Samsung 6100 Smart TV (UE40ES6100P) over the internet (WiFi). but recently RTE have evidently improved their Player, and now I get the message on the TV that I must update Flash. Is it ever possible to update the software on Smart TVs? I gather the TV is running some kind of Linux. (Occasional Linux-like messages come up on the TV.) Every week or so I get a message on the TV that software is updating, and there is a pause to allow this, but I've never noticed anything different afterwards. I should say that I'm able to watch RTE on my (Linux) laptop, so it seems it really is something to do with Flash. Incidentally, RTE online TV strikes me as very poorly presented. I find it almost impossible to work out what I can watch, and if I try to watch what I assume is not allowed, I'm not told that - I just get "Error #2203" on the screen. The whole presentation strikes me as rather amateur. The BBC World service, which I get by satellite, is orders of magnitude superior. Even TV3 is much better.
