HDHomeRun Dual or WinTV-HVR-2250
I want a dual tuner option for OTA HD. The HDHomeRunDual and the WinTV-HVR-2250 are the two most popular (maybe only) options I found.
What kind of experience have you had with these? Which route should I go? Thanks! |

AVerTVHD Duet
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815100041 Just added this in the last month. Was using an older model HDHR. HDHR was fine but wanted to have all tuners as part of the server box. Also wnated the HDHR for Media Center testing. It has been flawless. Better signal strength than the HDHR and seems to be better on Multi-path.

Just a heads up on the AVerTVHD Duet. AFAIK, it was never on the SageTV list of supported tuners.
While some users have it running without issue, I was not one of them. I tried it a couple of years ago but could never get it to work reliably. I ended up selling it and picking up the HDHomerun which worked out of the box. YMMV |
