</blockquote></div><br>I'd say that's debatable. If your HDHR tuner is in a place where you CAN'T conveniently use it to receive IR signals then you aren't using it to its full potential. One of the great advantages of the HDHR is you don't have to mess with setting up a separate IR receiver for your frontend.<br>
<br>Also, one of the great advantages of MythTV is that you don't have to run antenna cables to your TV. My backend server is tucked away in the basement with the rest of my networking stuff. The only thing I need at the TV is a frontend machine, power and ethernet.<br>
<br>Frankly, one of the great advantages of the HDHR is that you can conveniently place it wherever you want - with the frontend if you need the IR capabilities or hidden away somewhere else if you don't need the IR but don't want to/can't run coax cables to the TV location.<br>
