HD Homerun Prime w/NPVR

[smajor]

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the NPVR support. :-)

After being bounced around to no less that 5 people when I called Time Warner, I finally got an answer if this can be used with my service and channel line up. Wow. (It was yes BTW.)

Now the NPVR questions:

1) I'm looking at the 3 tuner model, can I assume NPVR will use all 3 tuners?

2) Will I be able to stream/timeshift LiveTV to clients like any other device?

Thanks for any input!

Yes, to both questions. You'll only be able to view/record channels that are marked 'copy-freely' though. Some channels will be marked copy-never/copy-once, and not usable.

Does anyone have an idea of what channels may not work in the US or, better yet, with Time Warner cable? I'll assume most all movie channels (which I don't subscribe to anyhow.) I'm wondering if things like Discovery, History, FOX, etc. might fall under this umbrella.

Some dated info I found shows most Time Warner channels are "copy once", so that's that if still true.

Edit: looks like that's it for this idea. If I had Charter or even Comcast (shudder) I'd be good to go. Oh well. I expressed my displeasure with the lack of consistency between providers with the FCC, for all the good that will do.

On Charter, all of the extended basic or whatever channels are copy free, FX, TNT, AMC, etc. I don't get HBO etc so don't know about those. Charter is OK as long as you don't have to talk to them on the phone. I go to the local office and take a number if I need anything.

*lol* same with Time Warner.

Never. Ever. Call.

Well worth the time to stop by the local office.
