SiliconDust makes
a series of network over-the-air and digital cable/CableCard tuners. I wrote an
overview of the streaming support of these tuners on Zatz Not Funny: Streaming Cable TV via HDHomeRun DLNA
Here are a few ways to consume this content using the DLNA (Digital

support.

Android TV has been mentioned, as well as some sort of guide/UI for browsing channels. That would be very cool!

home network?
