It seems to me that the new FCC rule permitting the cable companies to 
eliminate clear QAM means that the 2 tuner HDHomerun's days are numbered 
on MythTV (and other software DVR's).
The HDHomerun prime should still be ok, but that means a progressively 
expensive CableCard (Comcast now gets $10/month - $2.50).
Does the IPTV provision in the FCC rule (to satisfy Boxee) offer hope 
for replacing a 2 tuner HDHomerun with MythTV getting the basic cable 
channels directly (including OTA HD channels) off the internet?
