<div dir="ltr">I wouldn't rush right out and get a second antenna, I use an antenna amplifier/splitter. I get a stronger signal and a second output from one antenna, in my case one for the TV and one for Mythtv. Got mine for about $8 from Princess Auto, an off shore retailer (Canadian) you might try someone like Harbor Freight. I know their in Michigan, not sure about California.</div>

I've resubscribed to mythtv-users after a long (3 year?) absence. I<br>
ran MythTV for years, then ended up on DirecTV with no real interest<br>
in trying to make Myth do what their $5/month DVR did. However we sold<br>
the house and I'm currently using a Mohu Leaf for OTA HDTV so I<br>
thought I might check out what my options are for a low cost modest<br>
front-end/back-end combo machine.<br>
<br>
Please note at the outset: We're living in an apartment for the<br>
next 6-8 months while we look for a house to buy in a more southern<br>
portion of California. Space is at a premium here so I'm curious about<br>
building a _very_ small machine that can record no more than 2<br>
programs at a time and doesn't need to play back more than 1 at a<br>
time. I'd like to find something _very_ small, like Roku sized if<br>
possible, but reading through the MythTV site I seem to see a lot fo<br>
recommendations there for using x86 & NVidia graphics which isn't what<br>
I'm finding in this sized machine at Newegg or Amazon.<br>
<br>
I figure I'll might get something like a newish 2-channel HDHomeRun<br>
coupled with a second Mohu Leaf for the tuner part. What are the<br>
options on the machine part. (If any?)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Mark<br>
