that box is capable of over the air digital reception and you can plug in an external usb drive and use it as a dvr. why wouldn't they add an hdmi port to just allow it to plug into a tv?

i haven't bought one yet, but i have to envision that when you try to pump the video into your local network then to your tv you have to be doing a fair amount of video compression. (compression beyond what would be done if it was just put onto the hard drive and pumped directlty to the tv via hdmi) .. does anybody really have a clue why this decision was made (lack of hdmi port)?

the other question that i have is: does anyone have experience with the homerun and do you notice the video compression? i'm picky when it comes to the image quality. i have a tivo bolt and if there is any video compression i do not notice it.

I used to use an HDHomerun with cablecard, I never noticed any compression artifacts.
