Comments about SiliconDust HDHomeRun Networked Digital TV Tuner (ATSC):
A solid choice for over the air antenna needs. Installation was a breeze, and channels look very good. The tuner may have brought in one less station that a straight antenna run, but it wasn't a channel I watched anyway.

Comments about SiliconDust HDHomeRun Networked Digital TV Tuner (ATSC):
I love this box.
CD in box didn't work, but I downloaded the app with no problem.
The tuner picks up more channels off my antenna than my regular TV.
The picture is perfect by my untrained eye.
I just use the included Quick TV application on Windows 7.

Comments about SiliconDust HDHomeRun Networked Digital TV Tuner (ATSC):
Pros:
ATSC reception with an indoor antenna is better than ATI tuner cards.
Integrates fairly well with Win 7.
The supplied Quick TV app properly maps clear QAM channels automatically.
Very clear picture for ATSC.
Clear QAM picture quality is OK but the limitation is the cable co using lower bit rate QAM streams and resolutions. It's fine for a PC.
Cons:
The Win 7 Media Center usually requires a manual clear QAM to channel description mapping but the manufacture's web site walks you through the process. Not a big con.
