My main concern is what to use for a DVR for broadcast signals.
Can I buy an old Tivo for this. Is the guide still being supported?


Surprisingly a search for OTA DVR brings up a few from such time
honored brands like Magnavox and Channel Master. Might even be a
Winegard or Dumont.

Older Tivo units may not have digital tuners, let alone HD.


I did look and did not have that much success. Digital is a must but
HD, maybe not so much.
I may have a tuner card around here somewhere from AverMedia and I
have the AverMedia capture card in a PC as we speak. I was really
looking for a turn key solution if I could find one.
