I'll also play with running linux under virtualbox but was hoping to avoid that and use a jail. Since virtualbox only supports usb passthrough right now this won't give you any benefits. On modern enough hardware you could use bhyve which already supports pci passthrough and linux guests but you need a vt-d capable hardware. >From hardware side the best solution would be an dvb usb device that is supported by webcamd. The you can choose between vdr, mythtv, tvheadend/xbmc, vlc and a few more. With hdhomerun the list is a bit smaller but at least vlc and mythtv should still work fine - not sure about the others. > It's unfortunate that they took an 'integrated' approach on a network based tuner but I understand using a consistent implementation for all tuners.
