Live TV- Tuner which 2 get?

I think I am at the point to which I am ready to move on to the next step and add in LIVE TV.   I love what I am seeing in the LIVE TV portion of MB3.   Web client is looking great, and the ROKU live TV client is a bit rough around the edges, but there is major potential there.  My wife has given the thumbs up and is ready to give it a go.

 

I want to get rid of the DVR from the greedy cable co.   I'm deciding between the 2 here in the US.  Ceton's ETH6 or HDHR3-CC.  

 

I see pro's and con's for each.   Biggest bang for the buck is Ceton's 6 tuners.  Although I wish they had the same feature set of HDHR (DNLA, 3rd party app support).

 

Any insight as to pro's or con's on either would be of great help. 

Any plans on having MB3 hook in directly into HDHR and bypass plugin's?

 

Thanks!

It might be too late but I'm using the HDHR Prime and it's been working pretty well. Depending on how many live streams and recording you need at a time. The Ceton is a 6 tuner and the Prime is only a 3. I which the HDHR had a couple more tuner cause whenever I watch a move and record a couple more I get errors but that's the issue with the number of tuner not the device. The Ceton on the other hand I hear have a lot of problems.

I have two HDHR Prime's on my network and love them. They were easy to setup and getting going. Once setup and running I don't even bother with them other then checking for updates which I do about once every three months. I looked at Ceton and there wasn't anything the impressed me plus there is a forum on the green button for issues with their tuners. Just my two cents.

FWIW I sent back my ceton ETH6 and got that HDHRPrime CC. Just couldn't get it to work with my Time Warner cable. HDHRPRIME worked pretty quickly.

 

Also, the Ceton folks were really good about tech support... They kept sending me beta firmwares to try... but after 2 weeks of back and forth, I just wanted to give up.
