I have an HDHR, and I absolutely love it. I have it connected to my
100Mb switch, which my mythbox is also connected to. I have had
perfect results using both tuners at once. My only complaint is that
it cant decrypt the encrypted cable streams, but a tuner that can do
that doesnt exist. So I guess my gripe would be more accurately aimed
at the cable co..
