Do you have SiliconDust HDHomeRun?

For years now I've been frustrated in my wish to use FBSD as a PVR.

I tried MythTV on Ubuntu but gave up because i couldn't get it going. Even the guy giving advice didn't have it going - lol.

Eventually I just bought a purpose made PVR and forgot about he whole idea... until today:

I haven't got one and it isn't clear how the UK version works, but I suppose the interface it presents to the world is the same as the US version.

So (finally!) the question is 'Got one? - can you use it with FBSD?'
 
So the hardware's ugly and the software's a bit of a dog's breakfast, especially on the Mac and Linux side.

Doesn't sound to hopeful..

On a similar note, there are drivers for the Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350 and 500 in the ports tree.

I used to have an old bt848 based tv card that worked really well on fbsd. At least I was able to watch TV, never tried to record it though.

Those are analogue tuners. I'm looking for dvb-t tuners. Hauppauge generally call them 'Nova' or 'HVR' the for combined tuners.

I believe there's no support for dvb-t in FBSD (apart from some experimental support for one version of the Freecom stick).
