I can't comment on the Aussie Model, but I can say the US product is great, and the company itself is wonderful. They had an issue with their wall-wart power supply, and they did an excellent job getting it fixed. You learn a lot about companies/people by how they fix their problems, and they handled that one beautifully. SiliconDust is good people. I don't think I have EVER seen a negative comment on the net. |

Thanks for the link (wish they linked to that from the main site). Just bought one. Will report as soon as it succeeds (or fails?) |

OK. It works, but MythTV needs patches to use it. See this ticket: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6274 |

Impressive... buy the hardware... then patch the software yourself... 4 days from order to patch... nice work... |

Does anybody know when or where we'll be able to buy the HDHomeRun DVB in the UK? |

Yes - the Silicondust guys were pretty quick preparing a patch. As for UK purchases, mayke ask on one of Silicondust's forums. They may already be negotiating a dealer? If not, I'm sure Lako Pacific will ship it out to you for a bit extra. Note that the device's box is actually labelled "HDHR-EU (AU)". A snoop around in its config yesterday revealed channel tables for europe, australia and taiwan. |

Nigel, do you have a HDRN-DVB? Perhaps I can provide you a patched MythTV (for R6) to test? |

I do, although I am in the middle of testing/applying/improving Silicondust's patches, and that is taking much of my spare time. So yes, but don't hurry. |

I have bought one and it has arrived. I haven't installed it yet as my Mythbox's main drive died and I will have to reinstall from scratch. I will be loading LinHES R6.00.07 sometime during the week and I would really like to get my HDHomeRun working during this time. Let me know what you need. |

Well, the patches have been in SVN trunk and 0-21-fixes for a while, so all you need is an updated libmythtv (to record) and mythtv-setup (to scan). Of course, a newer build of the rest of mythtv works, too. Hopefully, Cecil has something you can upgrade with pacman? |

Yeah I am still fighting with my R6 box at the minute, trying to tidy up some lose ends. I will wait till I hear back from Cecil. |
