I'm in the US, have Verizon FIOS service for cable and internet.
I use an HD Homerun Prime tuner on my network, with cablecard.
If I were to switch to antenna, I'd get an HDHomerun Plus tuner.
Both are units that go onto my LAN here and MythTV controls those tuners
and records from them.
My drives are currently scattered on various NFS mounts, I'll be further
consolidating them as funding permits onto a solid RAID unit. My primary
BE is on an old Dell Poweredge 2850. Frontends are varied units,
typically older computers and even one Acer Aspire One netbook.

What are the sort of issues that you are experiencing?
