Rating: - Great dual tuner QAM
This does exactly what it claims. Solid product and very reliable. This is a pretty good deal for two HD tuners and doesn't take up any PCI or PCIx slots.
Really simple to set it to a channel and then pull up a program such as VLC to watch TV and/or save the stream. High quality picture and audio.
Rating: - Local channel quality/quantity key to unlocking the awesome
The HDHomeRun performs like a champ. Local cable (TW NYC) provides a decent free feed of broadcast + TNT,TBS,AETV in a unencrypted QAM.

It integrates well with Windows Media Center (I run 32 bit Vista Home Premium Version) adding HD channels to the list of call signs and show discriptions went easily. All record funtions work the same. I use an expanded basic Comcast Cable TV feed and can view all of the local HD signals and also about 20 radio stations. But it misses seeing all of the available channels that my LCD TV sees with its built in HD Tuner.

Rating: - Wonderful network tuner with some limitations.
OK, let's get the cons out of the way first: This box does not have a slot for CableCards, which means that you are not going to use it to record anything except either OTA digital TV (from an antenna) or the major networks on clear QAM from your cable. That's just the way it is, that's what this box was designed to do, and that cannot be changed. It will not pick up analog or encrypted-digital cable channels. It does not interact with your television at all, unless you are using your TV as a computer monitor. ... Read More
