I would (and possibly will) try a HDHomerun tuner on MythDora. Mark L is using a HDHomerun tuner. He might be able to give his impressions of it.


It works, provides dual ATSC tuners, and doesn't take up a PCI slot (important for my mATX system, which has only two PCI slots in total). Seemless integration into MythTV-0.20-fixes and the latest bleeding edge SVN versions too.

It's digital, so the 1920x1200i (local CBC) picture and 5.1 surround sound are both perfect. But I have never used any other ATSC receivers, so there's not much for me to compare with. Recording with Myth is easy, as it should be: one can actually record just using the *UNIX cat (EDIT: netcat (nc), that is) command if one wanted to.

Except perhaps the built-in ATSC tuner in our Viewsonic LCD TV, which sucks (much less sensitive) by comparism with the HDHR . The only downside for some, is that it does require a DHCP server on the same LAN segment for it to function.
