Newegg has the SiliconDust HDHomeRun Network-based Dual Digital HDTV Tuner Ethernet Interface for $150 - $10 code HDHRUN10 [Exp 8/26] = $140 with free shipping. This dual tuner solution plugs into your network and lets you receive both over the air and unencrypted content from your cable company.
I've been using this for the past 6 months with a SageTV/WHS setup. It works well, setup was easy, no problems at all. One of the few computer peripherals I've ever had work perfectly on the first try and has continued to work.
+1 I use this in Win7 Media Center. Works well. Media Center found most of the channels automatically. However, getting the rest of the channels recognized was a pain.
This is a network HDTV tuner. You hook your OTA signal to the back via coax (it has 2 tuners) and you plug an Ethernet cable into it and every computer on your network can see it and use it. I can watch OTA on every computer in the house (2 desktops and 2 laptops) as well as every TV via SageTV and their HD200s.

I had this for a number of months as well. I can't recommend it enough. I'll echo what #1 said.. finally, something that just works.

Is it possible to decrypt the over the air baconnaise on your computer through this?

Never heard of this. Will it work with my Mac and my old Xbox XBMCs?
