Did anyone pre-order the HDHR Prime 6-tuner? The shipping date was supposed to be today, but according to Newegg, it has been postponed until 7/22.
What I like about this device is that it assigns network tuners dynamically, rather than statically, like the InfiniTV tuner.

Since the 3 channel tuners have been discontinued by SiliconDust, what's the consensus about the viability of the 6 channel tuners?
It's been over a year since SiliconDust first started talking about these. Since then, there's been no mention of them for the most part.
It looks to me that they've...

when it gets to the Examining TV Signals phase, click to advance to the TV Signal Detection Result and select 'Let me configure my TV signal manually'... you can then select Antenna to get it set up properly.

I read about these indoor over the air HD antennas and how they work with one TV only. So made me think, then they probably can't work with HD HomeRun 4 tunnel OTA boxes and with solutions that can potentially record and live tv multiple channels at a time. Am I incorrect in my thinking or does the...

Antenna options for the OP depend strictly on the frequencies and signal levels available at his specific location (coordinates plus height AGL). There is no single unit that's good for all.

Thanks for inputs.
Picked up a duo tuner. Connected it to a Linksys wireless bridge and I'm able to stream two channels over my network! I like how you can watch on your phone. Haven't tried using it with WMC yet. Impressed so far.

The Channels app is nice but their subscription pricing for DVR is rather high at $8 per month. You need to have a HDHomeRun tuner and run your own server so all you really get from the $8 is the guide data and use of the apps.
