Just added a 2nd HDHR

...for OTA, it joins the first that does QAM. Man that was easy! 5 minutes tops, cloned my Fusion5 Lineup. Thanks Sage & Silicon Dust.

(BTW, if you go the mixed route, set the HDHR setup program to "Advanced")

Hey Poly,

What software versions are you using? I've seen other posts that say that gigabit networking is required because Sage doesn't have the HDHR demux the intended channel before streaming. Are you using gigabit and avoiding the problem? Or is it safe now for us lowly 100Mb/s folks.

Thanks, I'm jones'ing for a second HDHR, too, but have put it off after reading about the gigabit "thang".

My QAM tuners are direct connect to my HTPC. The OTA one is plugged into my Gigabit switch.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but could you comment on how the HDHR is "a driect connect to your HTPC". It sounds like your HTPC has multiple NICs? If so, how do you assign IPs so that the HDHR works?

I have dual NICs in my server and I'm trying to get the HDHR to work with a direct connect, but I'm having trouble.

Yes, I have 2 10/100/1000 NICs. The current HDHR Firmware/Software is supposed to support Direct Connect via Windows' Private IP assignment. I, however, still use TFTPD32 as a little DHCP server to hand out 1 IP to the HDHR.

I have 2 10/100/1000 NICs connecting directly to my HDHRs, and yes, the latest version of the firmware/software support Windows Private IP assignment (169.254.x.x) - works great, no drops.
