This is a great little product that we at HomeBrainZ use ourselves. It integrates with Windows Media Center and Windows Home Server very nicely.
Turn any PC on your network into an HDTV with SiliconDust's HDHomeRun adapter. This dual tuner solution plugs into your network and lets you receive both over the air and unencrypted content from your cable company. The 5th generation tuners have increased sensitivity and gain so you pull in signals from farther away than ever before.
The HDHomeRun is compatible with Windows Media Center and many third party solutions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. The included DVR software lets you record your favorite shows onto your hard drive so you can watch them whenever you want.
