Thanks for your input everyone. I'm flexible either way, but was wanting to have everything "in one place" (ie, just my computer). However, if the HDHomeRun is superior to PCI cards, that's the one I will be getting.

</span></blockquote></div><br>I just want to throw in my 2 cents. I am just starting my foray into HD. I purchased an HDHR on Fri and it arrived on Tuesday. I hooked it up last night to an OTA antenna (currently, I'm living out in the country in Central Illinois). I was able to pick up my local FOX affiliate with no problems. I was playing it over my network to an XP laptop I have (yes I know it's WinBlowz but I had it laying around and couldn't find directions to do the same setup with VLC on linux). It was a beautiful site to see. Now I just need to climb up the antenna mast and move the antenna to face west so I can get all the other channels (NBC for Heroes, ABC for Lost, and CBS so I can mock Jericho when it comes back). Hopefully, I won't die in the attempt. Getting back OT, the HDHR was _crazy easy_ to setup. After I get the antenna pointed the right way, then I'll be upgrading Myth. From my limited experience, the HDHR "just works". Good luck!
