So this comes with a OTA tv tuner and it is setup in xbmc?

This is a piece of junk. Stay away from it if you are planning to use it for only XBMC. Go back and find yourself a 2nd Gen Apple TV.

No it does not have a tv tuner. It only streams video from xbmc and other android streaming programs.

Yes, it works like a charm. I have it installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system. It`s plug and play windows will automatically find the drivers needed. Also works great with XBMC.

No, it's designed to be a cable card tuner. You have much more affordable options out there for QAM tuners.

I gave mine away because it was too slow. In any case after connecting the HDMI cable to your tv it should load the application screen. You may need to return the item if you can't make it work. I agree with downloading XBMC though. did not try it without it.

The only other thing I would HIGHLY recommend is the Keyboard, the controller falls short of controlling everything. The XBMC is not really based on channels, but on add-ons. Each add-on will provide you with certain entertainment. For example: The Mash-Up add-on has a very wide range of movies, TV show, sporting events, documentaries; Sports Devil is all about sports; Video Devil is all about adult movies; Ice Films is movies and TV and there are hundreds more, including international channels, radio, etc. that you can download from different repositories. Just Google XBMC repositories and you will find YouTube videos explaining how to do everything. I hope this helps =) The only other thing I would HIGHLY recommend is the Keyboard, the controller falls short of controlling everything. The XBMC is not really based on channels, but on add-ons.

After correctly installing it all, the tuners show up when you run "Tv Signal Setup" in Media Center.

I have not myself, I do believe that you could install XBMC on it. I don't see any reason that you couldn't since there are XBMC packages that install on Raspberry Pi. Goggle is your friend, its not that hard to check.

If they are giving you a Cable box fine. But it does not have a QAM Tuner built in, unless they provide you with an external QAM Tuner.

D You mean XBMC (Kodi) with the TVaddones repository? If so just google xbmc or go to xmbc.org download the android version. Then search youtube for how to add addon to XBMC. Enjoy!

I can tell you that it has an ATSC tuner. I am able to take OTA digital channels broadcast by local television stations and output to HDMI (video and audio). I do not have a QAM signal to test on.

? must we have only the software and a connector, or do we NEED a TV tuner for this process?

No, Xbmc is already on it all you do is install the addons, the best adding I have used on this box is movie 25

If you are a techie and do your research you can find a version of XBMC that works pretty well. I run XBMC every day. It takes the right combo of ROM and XBMC to get it to work. Check out freaktab for everything.

It comes with both. And many others. I have not used the tuner yet but I have played with it. But mine works fine :) And right in the back there is a connection that says (PHONO) right on it! I tried to copy some text right from the PDF manual. It does not look so good. Good luck changed.)

A QAM tuner is for digital cable NOT over the air broadcasts, almost all over the air broadcasts have gone to ATSC digital. This TV will accept UNENCRYPTED cable signals
