Hi Everyone!

I just recently picked up a Silicondust HDHomeRun dual ATSC tuner that streams the signal via IP acrossed a computer network. You can watch QAM or OTA ATSC on any manner of computers. Macintosh, Windows, or Linux computers can all use the device. I use the device with a free open source PVR that puts TIVO to shame. It's called MythTV and the automatic commercial detection and skipping feature is something I couldn't live with out. There are too many features to list them all but some of the best features are repeat detection, time stretch, picture, music and movie library. Here are some links:

I plan on upgrading my vintage 1970's rooftop antenna soon and will posting some questions once I get my research done and choices narrowed down.

Cheers,
Patrick.
