The ever popular SiliconDust HDHomeRun dual network tuner received a software & firmware update to Gold this week with Release 20100828. The update includes several improvements all around including those for SageTV, GBPVR, MediaPortal and even XBMC!
This tuner is one of my all-time favorites – especially useful if you have any QAM channels in the clear. Read my original and somewhat dated review on the HDHomeRun for more.
