Need some advice on this. I have haven't had cable for 2yrs now, we use netflix by Mail and OTA for tv. I made a fractional antenna array in the attic and get great reception from it.
I would like to use it for a dvr and to make use of xbmc for viewing options.

I already built a nas drive to store/share media, so here is my proposed build
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Bryansanders74/saved/3Fab


Motherboard Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Micro ATX FM2+ Combo or $69.99
CPU AMD A6-6400K 3.9GHz Dual-Core Combo or $69.99
Memory Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 $54.29
Storage Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" SSD $89.99
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Case Silverstone ML04B HTPC $74.99
Optical Drive Asus BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS Blu-Ray Reader, DVD/CD Writer Combo or $59.98
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

I need a little advise on a tv tuner we have 2 TVs one upstairs one down that would share the antenna.
Great info in this thread!
Thanks in advance
