Beta Sign-up Time @ SiliconDust
Unless you’ve been under a rock somewhere, you know that SiliconDust is working on some really slick new features for their HDHR lineup, bringing TV to DLNA devices. We’ll have to wait until the new tuners arrive with hardware H.264 encoding, but if you have a PRIME and want to check ou the DLNA features now with a MPEG2 capable DMR SiliconDust just announced that it’s time to opt into the beta. Go ahead and click through, all the info is on the next page.

is there a list of devices
is there a list of devices that support this? i’d love to give the beta test a go but i don’t have a PS3 and i haven’t heard of any other devices that could be used with DTCP-IP.
if i can’t access copy protected channels this will be useless.
Any ideas?
Currently the PS3 is the only
Currently the PS3 is the only DCTP-IP enabled device. You might be able to get it to work with CyberLink PowerDVD 12 though, it also implements DCTP-IP.
I don’t know about DTCP-IP

Thanks for the heads up
Thanks for the heads up guys. This feature is of no use to me unless i can tune cable with a Surface or use an openelecXBMC box with it as a spare STB.
I wasn’t going to give up the Ceton + Echo & Xbox extenders setup but i was hoping to get more utility out of the HDHomerun Prime than just a once in a while tuner for my laptop.
SD demo’d a Metro app at CES.
SD demo’d a Metro app at CES. Not sure when it’s coming though.
Good to know, thanks
Good to know, thanks Andrew!
Like i said I just want to get more use out of my HDHomeRun prime. SInce i got the Echo I decommisioned the fusion ITX box I was using on the bedroom. thus the only PC using the Prime is my laptop which isn’t used often for tv sans baseball season.
So if the prime will work with a Surface or maybe if i turned the fusion ITX into an openElec XBMC unit it might see some utility.
I’d like to add that silicon
I’d like to add that silicon dust finally updated their official F/W and I am using that. So far the “Tuner Not Available” errors of the 04052012 F/W have not reared their ugly heads and this F/W seems to be very smooth indeed.
Thank You Nick and Jason at SD for this long needed update!
