Hi All,<br>
<br>
Just wanted to post some positive comments in case anyone else is<br>
considering one of these.<br>
<br>
I purchased a unit from JB HiFi on Wednesday. The sticker price was<br>
$299 but I asked the sales assistant if he could do better and he gave<br>
it to me for $250.<br>
<br>
I currently have a Hauppauge NovaT-500 in my setup running mythbuntu<br>
with JYA's packages installed.<br>
<br>
I downloaded JYA's source packages and added the patches that provide<br>
multiplexed recordings and recompiled. All went very well.<br>
<br>
Once everything was installed, it was very easy to set up and<br>
everything worked without issue.<br>
<br>
Interestingly, with the NovaT, the best possible signal strength I<br>
could achieve was 83-90% (with direct line of sight to the antennas)<br>
and I used to get the occasional pixelated frame every now and again.<br>
With the HomeRun, signal strength across the board went to 100% and in<br>
an hour of watching, there were no pixelated frames (might just be<br>
spot luck - I can report more after more time spent in front of the<br>
system).<br>
<br>
Just thought I would pass on my experience so far.... Very happy and<br>
well worth the extra $50 over the NovaT....<br>
