Anyone using the SiliconDust HDHomeRun tuner?

Yes. Works great. It's ethernet, so you might have some initial trouble setting it up, but once you do, it works just as well as my old Miglia MiniHD. At the time I bought my HomeRun, there was no Mac version, so what I have is similar to what you're thinking of buying.

I ordered one last month through woot, the dual tuner. I had it set up for less than a day and I rain into some trouble with my server. I should be finished recovering everything this weekend. Can't wait to get give it a shot.

I have had one of these for many, many years. It is fantastic. It is rock solid. Just recently I started using it again after about a 2 year hiatus--it was still working, didn't need to reset the power or anything.

The best part about a network tuner is your computer no longer has to be attached to the antenna. No drivers, no stupid USB dongles.

Any computer in the house, Mac, Windows, Linux, can use it. It is first-come, first-served for the two tuners.

I've used it with EyeTV and Windows Media Center. Works great with both.

I just bought one the other day. Had some problems with the cable card install but finally got it working today. I'm running on Windows 7 on my rMBP for now, but planning on getting a Mac Mini. I'm hoping they release the firmware to allow playback on PS3 so I don't have to use Windows.

Didn't Elgato have a version of HDHomeRun? I haven't tried SiliconDust's software but EyeTV is typical Mac quality, reliable, easy to use and great looking.

They did, then they didn't. From an earlier post in this thread, they now have it again.

SiliconDust doesn't have any software. It is just a network tuner device.

I originally used Windows Media Center and now I use EyeTV. In fact, because it's a network device with two tuners, you could use both at the same time.

I got it to work for some clear QAM, but doesn't work with cable channels. So basically worthless. You need to run Windows or wait for the firmware update that allows PS3 use coming later this month.
