HDHomeRun setup in house

So I have been getting a few questions on how I record ota (over the air) TV at my house. This is a quick video which goes over how I have incorporated the HDHomeRun by SiliconDust into my multimedia setup for the quest to eliminate subscription TV.

so using the ethernet cable from the hdhomerun into the routher, how are you able to also get internet on the pc at the same time? since there is only one in-port ethernet for a pc?

@wetdognose The HDHomerun sits on the router as if it were another PC, think of it that way. It will take up one of the ports. It could also go onto a switch if you have one on your setup.

Thank you for explaining that so well. I watched a bunch of other vids where people only showed it setup with cable but I'm trying to setup my apartment with only internet and the new Digital antenna TV over the air. A lot of people are confused about it and thought it was forever gone (the analog antenna days)

Brian, have you heard whether the HD Homerun feed into a home network could be played and/or recorded with a Popcorn Time C-200? If this could be done without a PC running, it would be the equivalent of an OTA DVR set top box.

Thanks for the walk through.

Do you know of anyone who has gotten this to work with Boxee as the tuner?

I love my HD homerun, one of my favorite products that I own.
