July 30, 201015 yr Not really needed for unRAID, but many folks here are HTPC enthusiasts. Great tuner for a great price. Woot.com
July 30, 201015 yr It's a nice network based dual tuner capable of tuning in ATSC OTA (Over The Air HD) and Clear-QAM. It does not tune the ancient analog NTSC signals. I have one for the ClearQAM HD over Cable coax tuning of the local stations. Its been working nicely for a number of years.
July 30, 201015 yr I LOVE this device. I use it with EyeTV on my Hackintosh to stream local Television to my iPhone. Being able to take the ballgame anywhere makes everyone really jealous. This device is the coolest of its kind because it requires no drivers- it decodes the TV signal and dumps it on your network. It even has a built in IR receiver (that really only work in Linux)! I have used it with SageTV (Windows), MythTV (Linux), and the aforementioned EyeTV. Its easily one of the coolest pieces of hardware ever. Here is a cool website to determine what you can get with it locally. Was very accurate for me, and I am in a small town: http://www.silicondust.com/support/channels/
July 31, 201015 yr I wish it had a mode to take svide or composite and make it available on the network the same way. if it did, I would be all over this! Right now I use a terk Leapfrong.
