Default OTA DVR?
Hey guys, I'm looking for a DVR to hook up to my antenna, any reputable dealers in Canada? and if so, what are some good make and models? Also, is there anything I can add to my computer to make it a OTA DVR?

Thanks

unfortunately in canada OTA isn't what it is in the US. The only ones i have found are the samsung boxes and they are pretty pricey. Your best bet would be to get a ATSC tuner card and build a cheap HTPC since it will cost around the same but is more useful.

you can look into getting a Dvico pci card for receiving OTA HD channels - I've tried it and it works well, but depending on where you are will impact how many channels you can get
