Guys
I am running a GB-PVR from a Popcorn Hour A-100 in the lounge. My Windows Home Server runs GB-PVR and provides video, music and photo storage. House is fully networked with CaT6.
This all works fine, although obviously I cannot watch or record TV through it. There are numerous problems trying to install TV cards on WHS so I am very tempted to purchase the HD Homerun device which has just become available in the UK (£159).
The family currently use a reliable HDD recorder in the lounge (TVOnics DVR-250 http://www.tvonics.com/digital-tv-recorders/) but all the recordings are 'stuck' on the HDD and not available anywhere else in the house.
Will my set-up with the addition of the HD Homerun tuner provide as good as, if not a better, set-up for the family as I currently have?
With 4 children my budget is tight so I need convincing!
Thanks
Mark
