SD just announced that they will have the HDHomeRun Prime available for Pre-order soon http://www.silicondust.com/products/hdhomerun/prime/ The big deal is that it now supports Cable Card. The mythtvcast guys interviewed one of hte founders of SD on episode 29 http://tlltsarchive.org/archives/MythTV ... sode29.ogg I wish I could afford one. |

Its an interesting device. This device will have the same behavior as recording from the firewire port of a Motorola DCT-6200, as described here. |

The Prime is working very well for me. I had been thinking lately my knoppmyth box was becoming obsolete with the limited amount of content I could get. This opened everything right back up. Actually, more than I ever got before. +1 on the HDHomeRun Prime. |

bode77, did the hdhomerun Prime work with LINHES 604 out of the box, or were special tweaks required? |

Pretty much out of the box. This is my first experience with the Silicone Dust type boxes so I can't say if it's different than previous versions. The Prime requires a .24 or .24-fixes. I am running 7.00.3 so that isn't an issue. I don't know about 6.0.4. Setup was essentially getting a cable card and having it activated. I use Comcast and there are good instructions on the net. I used the instructions given by a reviewer on Amazon. For the LinHes setup, I followed this guide: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Configuring_MythTV_for_the_HDHomeRun_Prime All three tuners work. I get almost every channel available in HD except the pay channels like HBO. As I said I am very happy with the Prime and would definitely recommend it. The only issue I have is very infrequently I get some kind of buffer failure and the LiveTV will kick me back to the main menu. Is this the Prime or my box or 7.00.3? I don't know. I haven't had time to really work with it and it hasn't been a big enough issue for me to make time to look into it. doug |

I assume then they allowed you to do a self-install of the cablecard? How much is the rental on the cable card? Thx for the info. |
