Hi,
Unfortunately we don’t support Raspberry Pi. We don’t have any ready solution for you at the moment. And we even don’t have any plans for supporting it in the nearest future..
I understand it works and i have seen the video. I would like to know how it works , what software, etc. I think this would be beneficial for everyone instead of it works. I want to do the same thing but do not know where to start. Also does it use WMC at all as now i have WMC with show analyzer so it skips commercials automatically. Does your setup do that and how . I would love a video on setting it all up and sure your readers that get your email too.
I will do a step by step video in the next couple of weeks.
The basic steps are
1) get DVBLink working on your Media Center PC
2) Get XBMC working on the Raspberry Pi (using Rasbian)
3) Install the DVBLink addin for XBMC
I know that doesn’t help that much so I will do a video and if you need any help in the mean time let me know

i tested it with XBMC and it worked ok, so there is no DVBLink product for the Pi it does work
see https://thedigitallifestyle.com/w/index.php/2012/09/17/video-using-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-media-center-extender/
So it’s not support but it should work
I understand it works and i have seen the video. I would like to know how it works , what software, etc. I think this would be beneficial for everyone instead of it works. I want to do the same thing but do not know where to start. Also does it use WMC at all as now i have WMC with show analyzer so it skips commercials automatically. Does your setup do that and how .
