[TriLUG] HDTV card

[John Turner]

The HDHomeRun tunes the channels (comes with a command line tool, but  
MythTV has support for it also). The device only does HD (over the  
air and QAM) and just streams the data over the network. I think only  
1 client can read each stream at a time, but two different clients  
can stream from the device at the same time. Not sure about internal  
buffering.
