I too have both-- but the HD Homerun... is a network product I can watch or record up to three different channels on my Desktop , laptop or laptop outp[ut to a TV. On the other hand the Samsung unit is essentially a good replacement with 1080P output replacement for a set top caable box, but with added smart TV features added ( hulu, vudu, netflix-etc.) I bought these to replace teh small HD box Comcast supplies for $2 qa month , but have only 1080i (and coax analog through put) I have nto seen where you can recieve it's signal through your ethernet -- the LAN connection is only to gain streaming feeds - as far as I Have experienced so far. nice unit- one of first I have seen sold to consumers to replace Cable company units and add smart TV features - hope to see more on the market since ComCrap has chosen to force all reception to require a decoder box- making everyone's internal QAM tuners wasted money and unusable.

Yes, converts HDMI signal to Component and you can use the audio output of choice from the cable box

It should be. It has connections for component, composite, S-video, and HDMI, almost certainly one of these will be what you cable box uses. The owner's amnual is here:http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=32PFL3506/F7

I am using the model HDHR3-US unit that I purchased to watch over the air HDTV right now. I really like mine and I also use it with Microsoft's Windows 7 Media Center to watch live commercial over the air TV programing and as a recording device for later viewing. If a person was thinking about Cable TV, they very well may not be compatible.

Yes, as long as your cable box has the RCA out jacks for the composite video and left and right audio, as almost all of them do nowadays. This unit has the input RCA jacks for these connections.

If your Xfinity box has HDMI, then you can hook it up, but this unit doesn't have speakers. you would have to hook up speakers to the headphone jack, or connect the cable box up to some sort of sound system.

I have an HDTV box so I connect through it. A lot of channels can be accessed through the set with out a box, Also by connecting a HDMI cable programs can be watched i.e. Amazon Prime movies and shows, Star Treck all shows for free.

No....nor will it work on any other program other than windows media center. Unless you can find some type of converter. Forget the DCR2650. I had nothing but problems with it. Get the Silicon Dust Homerun Prime.

Call your cable company to activate it and make sure it is compatible with the cable system

Just short USB cable. If your cable company is all digital, I do not believe this will work. It might work if you place it on the out (TV) port of your digital device. I no longer use USB tuners because I put a Ceton card in a PC to build a HTPC with Media Center and Win 7.

It does not appear to support any type of digital cable. Samsung has made some models in the past with CableCard slots for digital cable, but this one doesn't have that feature, as far as I can find.

you can use it in place of a cable box but you will have 2 TV sets playing the same program. this system only moves the signal it will not give you a separate control

Yes you can. I had 2 Prime units (6 tuners) connected to the cable and an HDHR (2 Tuners) connected to an antenna and it worked great. Just remember that Prime HDHR3's only work with cable and you can not connect them to an antenna if you cut the cable

I would not buy the Hauppauge. It quit after a year. The SiliconeDust HD Homerun Prime is better. It takes a cable card for a couple dollars a month. It hooks up to your network and then you record with your computer with Window Media Center or something like that. And you can use your tablets and phone to access tv while you are at home on your network.

Sorry, double checked both my machines (old and new) and neither had a cablecard slot. Not really a problem for me. My satellite TV receiver (Directv) has a wide selection of output options and the Magnavox works well with commonly available cables. Unfortunately, HDMI will fail to function if the channel is copyright protected, and you must record the channel you're currently watching.

yes this attaches to your local network via cat5 cable and to your cable service with standard RG6 coaxial cable. you will need a multi stream cable card from the cable company. it is important that you get the M card or the tuner will not work but I had no problem getting the correct cable card from Comcast. once you set it up and install the software and driver from silicon dust included or downloaded you run the windows media center tv setup and it will find the tuners. if you are only using clear unencrypted channels the cable card may not be needed but to get pay channels or if charter encrypts all channels like Comcast does the cable card is needed.

Its not possible, since you needed to install drivers on a pc that detects the hdhomerun connected to your router and cable from your cable provider.
