I managed to get TVServer running under a Xen DomU. I bought a Q35 mobo that supports Intel VT-d which allows me to pass-through my PCI DVB card to the Windows DomU (guest). I went through 3 distros and spent practically 2 full days trying to sort it out. Finally managed to get it working on CentOS 5.1 with Xen 3.2.1-testing compiled from mercurial source. Xen only officially supports the 2.6.18 kernel which CentOS 5.1 is still on. Documentation is severely lacking on Xensource and the VT-d support is experimental so I'm expecting to run into some stability issues, but I'm just happy I finally got it running. If others are interested I could write a how-to, but 99.9% of people do not have VT-d enabled motherboards.
