Not exactly easy or cheap, but a data point for you:<p>My OTA DVR for the last 8 years setup has been a PC with Windows Media Center. Apart from the setup, there is no monthly cost for the guide data, as with Tivo etc. Right now this runs on a NUC, with a SiliconDust HD Homerun (HDTC-2US) living in my attic, which transcodes the OTA MPEG-2 to H.264, saving tons of disk space. A nice side effect is that I can archive shows (e.g. NOVA episodes).<p>P.S. One interesting tidbit I remember from a Tivo ad (but can&#x27;t dredge up right now), based on their users TV consumption stats, apparently ~ 87% of what people watch is available OTA.<p>Edit: Windows Media Center was dropped from Windows 10. The replacement will be Xbox One DVR functionality, coming 2016.
