You mentioned XMBC... if that is still the version you are running... I highly recommend upgrading to the lastest which is now called KODI ... v14.2 is the lastest stable release ( v15.0 is around the corner and is in beta already ). The biggest improvement that I've seen on Android and Windows boxes vs the XBMC versions is with the video, the added hardware acceleration really smooths it out.
I don't record over the air TV... I simply stream it from the various internet sources with a few add-ons. The add-ons I find most useful here ( in the USA ) are Genesis, 1Channel and Icefilms... for the most part, I use Genesis and the others just fill in the blanks on certain shows or are used as backups. I'm uncertain how well those add-ons support any TV shows from where you are, so you may want others instead... for movies those are good although I must admit, I don't watch as many as I once did.. mostly documentaries, science, some sci-fi etc related stuff for me.
I believe for live streaming... I hear about an add-on called Phoenix quite often. Live streams in the USA haven't been well accepted by the networks here... so they are very limited. As such, I have little experience with using them except briefly just to see what was up with them.
If you want to record over the air TV... You'll need a PVR add-on and a networkable TV Tuner such as HDHomeRun or similar and a big enough hard drive to record and keep the shows you want to view. I almost went this way but I found streaming it directly from the internet ( since I do have high speed internet ) a much easier and cheaper solution since there was no additional hardware to purchase.
