Clear QAM HDHomeRun Available in the SnapStream Store

Silicon Dust HDHomeRun
Last week, we released two new skus in the SnapStream Store that include Silicon Dust’s HDHomeRun network TV tuner card— the HDHomeRun stand-alone, and the HDHomeRun bundled with Beyond TV.

With the HDHomeRun network tuner and a cable TV connection (no set-top box required) you can record free unencrypted (clear) QAM HDTV in Beyond TV. The digital signal comes through a standard coax cable feed, originating from your cable company. Most cable providers today will at least push a standard and hi-def version of the major networks (e.g. ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) as clear QAM channels.

Note: in order to use the HDHomeRun you need to subscribe to regular cable (e.g. Time Warner or Comcast) and, because the HDHomeRun works over a network connection, you must have a wired (at least 100 Mbps recommended) home network.

    Hey, the HDHomeRun has two tuners but in the blog tutorial for it only has you set up one of the tuners. Is it possible to record from both tuners at the same time?

    Is the process for setting all that up going to be automated in a future release of BeyondTV?

    Also, it’s not a “card” and referring to it as such is confusing.

    You recommend against having the HDHomeRun record analog TV but it is possible?
