Cutting the cord questions

Update! Last Friday, the Verizon guy came out and installed a cable card into my HDHomeRun Prime. It took a little over 2.5 hours, but most of that was the tech on hold with Verizon trying to activate the cable card. he hadn't done one before and his software was not playing nicely with the...

Cutting the cord questions

thanks again all! Those are a lot of good suggestions. I think I am going to get a HDHomeRun Prime to go with my Verizon Cable Card. I do have a 360, so that will work for one TV. I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick. i wonder if that will work for the second TV. I am pretty sure I can get it to...

I think for the time being, we are going to stick with pay TV (despite my OTA claims earlier) and rent a CableCard. The Ceton you mentioned looks pretty nice (6 streams!), but is almost double the HDHomeRun Prime, which only supports recording 2 and watching 1. I will be doing this through...

Right, that is what I was planning/trying to do Tential. I have 3 dvr boxes, part of the reason the bill is high. I just wanted to try and get some shows (mainly for the kids) that they love to watch and know I need a video capture device of some sort and was wondering what a good one was.

Cutting the cord questions

I know there are a lot of other threads, but I think I confused myself and could use some direction. I recently bought a new PC to act as my media server/DVR. I also have an OTA antenna on order. What I am confused about is the piece in the middle, which takes the OTA signal and puts it...

Australia set up questions

Thanks for the reply Jamsan! For the data caps, if you go over your cap, can you buy another "bucket" of data or are you just out of luck until the next month? Do you have any experience with streaming stuff from one device, like an external HD, to multiple other devices, like iPads? I know...
