Default HDHomeRun on woot for $85

Check it out. www.woot.com has a deal today where you can buy a SiliconeDust HDHomeRun for $85. This is a device which hooks up to your network and turns every computer into a TV on demand. It normally costs $120-$150.

Personally, I would recommend a HDHomeRun to everyone. I bought a cheap $300 computer and a HDHomeRun. The computer uses the HDHomeRun's dual tuners. One for live tv and one for recording. The computer sits in the living room and is the way the family watches TV and recordings.

While the HDHomeRun has about a 2-3 second channel change time, it's still a great value and it really makes every computer in the house a TV or a potential media center.

wow!! And 1saleADay.com has a wireless 2.4ghz keyboard which would work well with the HDHomeRun to turn your PC into a real media center with a wireless remote for $24 http://wireless.1saleaday.com/... This one is only good for the next 4 hours though.
Today's full of great deals!!!

It's not worth the $5 for shipping.
