You're very welcome. The HDHomerun devices are networked, so you can get a stream on any PC capable enough (keep in mind it's full HD streaming over LAN). That's one of the reasons I got those instead of USB/PCI devices: zero setup to stream. Once TVHeadend is properly configured you can click on HTML links to stream to VLC, or stream to Android via the app I mentioned. Watching a stream will occupy a tuner, so if you want to record and watch, you will need at least two tuners (or a dual-tuner). I often found myself wanting to record two concurrent shows or sometimes having very small conflicts (one show ends, the next one overlaps, and another one is recording already -> 3 tuners needed), so I ended up with 4 tuners (2xdual). This will probably cost double of similar PCI/USB setups but for the convenience I found it's well worth it. Cheers, Fabian -- Fabián Rodríguez http://trisquel.magicfab.ca
