I'm a recent Cord cutter. I have an outside antenna which gets me about 40 channels in HD. I'm using a 2009 Mac Mini with Plex on my TV. I'd like to use it with a device to add Time Shift recording in HD to the Mini. What's the best of the current crop of offerings. The mini is up to date running Lion.
Got a tip for us?

EyeTV is probably still the best thing around.
Unfortunately you're not going to find anything that integrates into Plex

Look into the HD HomeRun. Elgato has a bundle that combines the EyeTV software with the dual-tuner HDHR.
Also, where are you located that you can get 40 HD channels with an antenna? Or do you mean 40 digital channels+subchannels?

I've tried to like EyeTV. I got it bundled with my HDhomerun tuner. Unfortunately, windows media center 7 smokes eyetv in just about every respect. Perfect remote integration. A modern tv style display. Support for music and movies, not just tv. I'd love to use eyetv so I could get rid of the extra box I have running windows but it just doesn't seem feasible.
