Default A good HDTV tuner PCIe card?

If nothing comes up, consider an end run: a SiliconDust HD HomeRun
tuner. It's claim to fame is that it lives outside of your PC and
connects to your router and not the PC. The PC then connects to it
over the LAN.


I've been using two of their twin-tuner boxes (4 tuners total) for at
least five years with zero problems. No slots used, totally fungible
between PCs... what's not to like? OK, at eighty bucks they might be
more expensive.... But they seem to be very good tuners.


TinyURS seems to be down or I'd post a link. Google "Silicondust
HDHomerun" and look at the NewEgg hit.


The only thing about network one is that my network isn't that stable
and is onl 100 Mb/sec. especially if I am going to do basic heavy file
transfers. Also, my network connection likes to disconnect. What
happens if that happens if I am recording to my computers? $80 isn't bad
though.
