I installed an HDHomeRun tonight. It was extremely easy and fast. Hook up the cables and point the input config at it. The Myth backend was down for maybe 3 minutes. I am watching live-tv on it now and it seems to be of similar quality to the pchdtv.
I am noticing a little more 'tearing'.. but that may just have been the commercial I was watching (can't ff past them in live tv :-). Oddly enough, it seems that a lot more of the commercials on at this time (1:30am) are in HD, or at least in widescreen format.
A quick check of the upcoming recordings and it looks like the first recording to use the new tuner will be on Monday. I must say, I am pretty excited.
I played around with the PiP a little bit. While it looked nice, the PiP screen was rather jumpy and studdered a good bit. Rather similar to how HD played all the time when I had the slower processor.. yet top said I still had about 30% cpu sitting idle. Who knows. It certainly isn't a critical feature. More of just a 'wow, look at this' thing, and for that, a studdering picture is just fine :-)
