SuperMxyz said:If you just need a HD tuner, the best out there for the money is an old VOOM HD satellite receiver. Just plug your antenna into this and scan and you've got a $200 box for $20. VOOM was a satellite company that went out of business years ago but the boxes still make good HD tuners.
This is for your tv, not your computer. Are you all hooking your computers to the tv or what? Isn't that more of a hassle than a normal tuner?

120+ channels here. the problem is comcast can not encrypt the channels for the cheapie boxes (all those analog folks) due to fcc. so you get the first 100 and a bunch of on-demand subchannels for free still. this could end tomorrow if comcast gets their way. they can remap channels daily to screw you up. the writing is on the wall. i think we all know that. |

Questions for gurus: 1. Does it require or prefer 1Gb network?
2. Is it easy to record to DVD? |

2. Is it easy to record to DVD? 1. Gigabit network is not needed unless you plan on running multiple HDHomerun with multiple streams. The 1920x1080 video it sends out is about 15 Mbps, the device itself is 100 Mbps. I was able to watch stream over 54g wifi just fine. 2. Not easy. It comes with command line tools to save the transport stream to a file, then you'll need something like FFMPEG to encode the video into a DVD format. |

I'm a little reluctant to buy SageTV just yet. MythTV. Nothing can compare and it has HDHomerun support built in. |
