Hi Nick,

I am glad you still pay attention to us MythTV folks ;-)  Are you working
on a 4 ATSC 3.0 tuner version of the HDHR5-4K box? I already have plenty of
HDHR ATSC 1.0 boxes. I am even still using some HDHR V1 dual tuner boxes.
So, I don't really need an HDHR with more ATSC 1.0 tuners.

I am guessing it will be several more months before Albuquerque gets ATSC
3.0, but once it rolls out here I will be ordering a tuner from you, of
some sort.

Thanks,

John
