DVB Version of HDHomeRun on the Way

Looks like the guys at SiliconDust are ready to fill part of the DVB gap in Media Center the same way they filled the QAM gap in the US. They are planning a DVB version of the HDHomeRun (Via Brent Evans) which will support DVB-T and unencrypted DVB-C.

I’m not sure what is currently out there to get unencrypted DVB-C support in Media Center, but hopefully this will help some of you non-US Media Center users.

DVB support for Media Center is already available! Take a look at www.digital-everywhere.com.

They have tuners for DVB-C (cable), DVB-T (terrestrial) and DVS-S (satellite). And they support both unencrypted AND encrypted channels.

I've been using two of their FireDTV cable tuners for 6 months now, and I'm very happy with them!

Hi Chris.  Thanks for the link - it's really appreciated.  I have a pretty broad set of HTPC-centric sites I have in my Google Reader and yours was the second one I added just after some guy I can't remember at the moment (he was on meedio at one time and now is with MCE).  Always informative and usually the first place I hear about HTPC news on the net.

I think SiliconDust has such a great product with the HDHomeRun that their DVB version will be very successful.  No need for an extra open port on your PC since you plug it directly into your LAN network and dual tuner with ability to use the HD OTA antenna also!  It's a great product and I'm sure the DVB version will be also.

Thanks Chris!
