device). Both the HDHomerun

I use plex, but
have not looked into tuners before. I had never heard of HDHomerun before regoin
ing the BBS scene. I'll have to do some research and see how these work and thei
r costs. I new plex could use a tuner, but have never had a computer with space
for an actual add-on tuner card.
Ni> Aside from the streaming options availabl

ing can be set up in a central

my TVs. I currently live in

r mounting a TV antenna on
Ni> the outside near the roof, like people did in the
old days.
Haven't had much luck with indoor HD antenna's , I actually have a tow
er erected at both of my houses. But would be a pain to run cable into house fro
m outside; would prefer a indoor solution. I was using one of the flat HD annten
nas when testing in the house.
