I just cancelled my satellite tv service and after just 2 hours I'm already missing the DVR. I'd planned on building a HTPC or buying some other DVR solution after saving money for a few months, but that might need to happen sooner than later. What are my options for tuners? I'd like something that has dual tuners, all I need are ATSC tuners, if I ever go back to cable or dish I'll use their DVR solutions. I'm still in the initial planning stages, but I'll most likely use MythTV or Windows Media Center, I'm not too interested in software that is bundled with the tuner and would prefer not to be limited to only using software included with the tuner.
I looked at the HDhomerun and like the features, especially being able to access it from any PC on my network but I'm a little concerned that a lot of the reviews say reception is weak. Is it going to be any weaker than the various pci-e tuner cards?
