Anyway the only reason I have a 360 is because of Media Center. I already had a PS3 and never had any intention to buy any 360 games, so that's no excuse Mr. First World! But I suppose the jet engine fan is a decent reason not to get one.
Aren't you worried that all those additional ATSC tuners will get Media Center confused?
Confused? Why would they cause it to get confused?
I thought you could set priorities on tuners for viewing and recording with VMC. My plan was to set the CC as the primary viewing tuner and the two ATSC as the recording. There are only a few very rare ocasions when I'll use all three, but I record two OTA shows just about every night.
the best way to do it imo is to use the channel restrictions built in with the series recording options.
there is no real tuner priority built in with media center but since your hdhomerun channels are 1000+ its a pretty simple process to tell it to do series recordings and have it use the 1000+ channel (which ensures hdhomerun)
couple of other addons id suggest.... webguide, lifextender (for those non cablecard recordings.... for now), tvlibrary or mytv (for those archived tv series) and eventually netflixMC (doesnt work with the extenders yet but it looks like its getting very close... just another way to get content in media center).

Didn't realize I had you on speed dial there Ben.
