So you like the HD Homerun? We are thinking about ditching directv and
just using hulu/netflix and something to record OTA.

The HD HomeRun will also work with cable systems that have HD on the

*The Ceton solution is currently the only solution for CableCARD so
that’s where you’re going. They have PCI and external options.*

*If you just want OTA unencrypted, an HDHomeRun is what I
have/recommend. That device can interop with all sorts of stuff (e.g.
VLC Player) over the LAN too.*

I use this:

And then you just need a cablecard from Comcast. They usually make
someone come out to install the card though, so just an fyi.
Comcast was a pain in the beginning getting it installed as there
“tech’s” don’t really know anything about how to install it, but that
was last year. Sould be easier now.

I have the $12 basic cable package, and my ancient tuner card works
fine still (last time I checked)
Is that the cable package you are curious about... I can check what
card I have later if interested.
