[TriLUG] OT: Old Dog In Need of New Trick - Digital TV Recording

[Kevin Otte]

Since you're just using OTA, my suggestion is to get an HDHomeRun. The 
dual tuner version is $85 from Newegg, so you could record a show and 
watch another. The best part is since the signal is digital, you're just 
writing bits to disk and not having to go through a DAC/ADC cycle. In 
fact, you don't even need a fancy media program. You can command 
recording through a simple script. That said, a quick search seems to 
indicate that it integrates with RaspBMC quite nicely.
