Hi all,

After talking to our current hosts, a few upgrades are required in order to (hopefully) keep the site working well. :|

We're running on a server OS that is nearing end of support and there is also a newer version of phpbb that we'd benefit from as well.

It means that I'll have to take a...

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.

Last post

I've been anticipating this device, but my two HD Homerun Primes with Verizon FIOS Cablecards work perfectly fine.
I end up paying an extra $5/month for each card, so yeah, this device would cut my bill. Of course, I still have to purchase the new hardware, which is going to cost either $199 or...

I believe that SiliconDust did sell a 6 tuner HDHomerun Prime, but it was essentially 2 HDHomerun Primes in one package (it still required 2 cable cards).

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.
