I know there are a lot of other threads, but I think I confused myself and could use some direction.
I recently bought a new PC to act as my media server/DVR. I also have an OTA antenna on order. What I am confused about is the piece in the middle, which takes the OTA signal and puts it onto my computer. I know there is the Happuage tuner, but I was looking at the HDHomeRun line of prodcuts and I would prefer them if they would work, especially since they are also CableCard compatible (future proofs in case we want to go back, but don't want to have to pay for DVR fees).
I would like to be able to record more than 1 show at a time while watching live TV. Would that mean two cards? Also, can I set it up to where I can watch live TV on more than one TV at a time?
Slight aside, but I was looking at the motherboard for the PC I just bought and there is a blue PCI-looking slot near one of the expansion ports in the back. Is this PCI-e? It's been a long time since I looked in a PC and wanted to make sure this was correct.
is there something that I am missing?
Thanks!
