Hi Tony,
You can try the hvr-1600 pci card then again I have had real good
results from the HDHomerun network receiver. ------Original
Thank you; as mentioned in my reply to Andy I think your word "try" sounds
justified for the HVR-1600, but I'll do it. I'm desiring broadcast reception
rather than network, as my satellite Internet connection has bandwidth
quotas 18 hrs/day that need to be observed and allocated for purposes other
than television reception.
The HDHomeRun won't use your internet bandwidth, but it does require that you
have a local area network in your home. IOW, you need either a router with a
spare port or a second NIC in your computer (and perhaps a crossover cable) to
support the HDHomeRun.
FWIW, I have been using the HVR-1600 to record analog channels provided by my
cable company. I've had trouble with the ATSC/QAM tuner. I'm hoping to help
test Devin's tree, but his announcement coincided with the arrival of a second
HVR-1600 and fall cleanup. I want to make sure the second HVR-1600 is working
like my first one before I tinker with Devin's latest drivers, just in case I
need to return it. I bought the second one to record more analog. If Devin's
improvements help, I'll start recording more digital on the HVR-1600s. If not,
I'm thinking I'll spring for an HDHomeRun, which will let me hook it up to a
cleaner coax connection than I can get to my myth box. It's easier for me to
run Ethernet to wherever that might be than to get a dedicated coax cable to my
myth box.
HTH,
Helen
