What’s the advantage over slingbox? I like slingbox because you can pick up the stream anywhere you have an internet and/or cellular signal, plus they have a web based client so you can even pick it up off someone else’s computer.

The Cox app TV Connect streams for free about 40 real channels (not the basic over-the-air stuff). No need for a HomeRun!

The HDHomeRun works great with MCE as well given that the options for good PCI tuners in HTPC boxes is limiting and somewhat complicated to set up. I particularly like how the HDHomeRun doesn’t require you to have a set-top box nearby to work, just the coax cable, and no silly IR blasters to deal with either.

Buy a cheap 2-drive NAS box, and you could set up a full home media server as well as a “no-limit” DVR with the HDHomeRun. I’ve already got the My Movies MCE plug-in running on my 10″ netbook.

There is also an EyeTV iOS app, and you can stream to your phone from off-site no worries!
