MythTV Official Community Forum

They've purged their reddit, purged their own support forum of uncomfortable questions like why did samsung drop support for HDHR DVR?.

I was just about to pull the trigger on a HDHR5 Quatro until I discovered it was no longer compatible with my Samsung TV, and that buying any new HDHR model forces you into the Google or Amazon ecosystem if you want a hardware playback device.

The reason I'm in the market is that it looks like my HDHR3 was forcibly EOLed and my HDHR1 doesn't pick up enough channels without a good amplified antenna to compensate for the splitter (which I have but don't want to bother with setting up, thus my interest in a new model).

Has anybody built a mythtv system with contemporary hardware? Looks like neither SiliconDust nor Hauppauge devices are completely supported any more.

I moved this to the hardware forum because it is not related to Raspberry pi

I'll ping this old thread. Yeah, what cable card options are out there? Seems like silicon dust has moved away from CC.

They talk of a 6 tuner CC unit, but I don't think it is available yet. I have the 3 tuner model, but don't find it for sale anymore. They have 2 and 4 tuner units for OTA channels plus they offer a Premium TV package that allows up to 4 streams over the internet. I have the quattro unit setup, but have yet to subscribe to their Premium TV. Great signal quality on the OTA channels.

SiliconDust is expected to release a new six tuner model sometime in 2019 according them. Hauppauge has two and three tuner models available now.

Awsome! Thanks.

I believe they (SD) said that in 2018, also.
