One thing to remember about the HD Homerun is that it doesn't have an analog tuner. Nowadays with high-quality over-the-air (OTA) hd channels, especially for NBC/ABC/CBS, and digital cable, it's not much of an issue. Another nice thing about it is that if you have your own house (as opposed to an apartment) you can mount a nice antenna up on the roof, with the HD Homerun in the attic, and only have to run ethernet down to your computers, instead of having coax line losses all the way from the attic to the basement. --Matthew On Jun 23 2008, J Cruit wrote: >This does sound cool and doesn't use up a PCI slot in my system and dual >tuners.
