LaLa FuFu! talkin’ shiii… talkin’ shiii…

Lately I’ve been watching less and less of Comcast programing. The DVR Comcast supplys to me at a cost of $30 bucks a month for 2 boxes is not only disappointing but after 7 years of renting them I’ve paid $2,520.00 for the privilege.  THIS IS MADNESS!!! So guess what Comcast? Your set-top children are returning home next week.

The elgato HDHomeRun dual tuner system should stand in prefectly at a cost of $199.00 this little box will allow me to shedule recordings that I can watch either on my Macs or my  Plasma TVs all in the Clear QAM format. Clear QAM allows me to access HD channels and regular programming that Comcast sends thru the pipes at a standard access charge.

By running this system off a Mac Mini set-up in my studio I can convert my recorded shows and save them to my iTunes server in the same box. If I purchase an additional Apple TV box and put it in the bedroom I can cover the entire house with stored recorded content. The box also comes with 2 licensed copies of EyeTV 3 which I can install a copy on my desktop machine or the laptop if I feel compelled to watch live TV at anytime. Comcast I’m you’ve been ripping me off for years with your excessive cost and poor service so You get the boot on the premium channels and DVR. Much more can be had for much less.

UPDATED: This device will not help me since Comcast has pretty much locked down the Clear QAM spectrum altogether.
