I’ve always been a fan of the HDHomeRun. I purchased mine many years ago when they first came out. My favorite part about it is how it is open source and a network attached tuner. I love being able to take my laptop to any point in my house and watch some TV real quick while working on my laptop without having to be tied down by wires. I’ve long imagined that the only thing it could do better is have a CableCARD in it so it could decrypt premium content from a cable provider. As it turns out that day will be coming sooner than I had ever expected. SiliconDust has announced that they will be making a new HDHomeRun that does in fact include a CableCARD reader. But for what ever reason I doubt this will ever see much light on any other system than a windows 7 machine. Here again is to waiting and hoping for support for a CableCARD tuner that works on a non windows system.
