Ok, Im going to give this a shot. Next step to turn off Direct TV. Right now I have 4 TV's. I have PC's at 2 of them. Does anyone know if any of the set tp media players like Roku etc can work with HDHomerun?

#1 - The HDHomerun makes two HD tuners available on the network. Pretty much any software that supports tuners can make use of them. I don't know about Roku since it is a self-contained hardware device.

Mine are used by my two HTPCs running Media Center and the recordings are immediately copied over to my WHS.

Also, you can have more tuners by adding more of these and for those interested in cable connections, a cablecard version - the HDHomerun Prime will be released soon and support both a cable card and antenna connection using three tuners.

Won't work with the Roku, but it's a cool product. I'm also setting mine up to ditch DishNetwork.

These make any HD coming across as clear QAM recordable. They work great.

#4 - Cable companies are being the usual pricks by encrypting their non-premium channels for essentially no reason. Comcast is the worst, but I think all of them are doing it.

Yes, many cable companies encrypt all but the same channels that are locally broadcast OTA ATSC.

I wish this product had NTSC too, our cable co still transmits it.

NTSC , thats for tools... atsc or bust !

#6, in case you missed it NTSC OTA broadcasts were terminated last year, so I don't quite understand what you would do with an NTSC tuner...

#8, #6 said that his cable company still transmits it - not OTA.

#9 is correct. I could go the cablecard route or continue to receive analog NTSC over the digital cable service which encrypts all the ATSC channels except the locals, ABC/NBC/PBS/etc... IF it had an NTSC capable tuner too.

Plus, I don't watch enough *TV* that I care much if I see it in HD or without a little grain from it being analog... besides, all the good stuff is readily available through P2P to d/l at my convenience.
