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.
Thank you for that clarification, yet I don't understand how ivtv will tap
into that network stream. I'm using ivtv as a Linux tool to feed the
PVR-500MCE inputs to such things as mplayer and mythtv from a VHS S-Video
or
Composite input, probaly very primitive usage by most of all y'all's
standards (look at me talk Southern!).
I'm hoping to acquire an ATSC digital capture device to record the PBS
station that is indicated in the footprint of the FCC maps here. I'm
deducing from the replies that ivtv won't be necessary for that, as
mythtv,
which I intend to use as the recording scheduler for such things as the
NOVA
programs, might be entirely sufficient for the capture from a USB digital
ATSC receiver.
The HDHomerun doesn't require or use nor is it associated with ivtv it is a
different set of
tuners present on the local network accessable via either mythtv and vlc
(possibly even mplayer not sure
but further discussion would not be possible in this list)

Thanks everybody for your sharing of your knowledge. I enjoy reading this
(for me, recent) forum as an ongoing education.
