So I've been looking at OTA DVRs and don't think I've seen what I'm looking for:
TiVo Roamio - subscription fee
Tablo - re-encodes video and records at 30 FPS, so any live TV doesnt look as good as it did live
Channel Master+ - can't seem to get much specific specs on it.. Frame Rate? Re-encoding or native encoding? Can I grab .ts files of the recordings from it? Does it have HDMI output so I can watch untouched live TV without rewiring stuff?
Simple.TV 2 - only viewable through Roku or Apple TV which basically confirms re-encoding and 30 FPS
Does the DVR I'm looking for exist? Or should I just set up a pc with MythTV?
To clarify, I'm looking for a solution that:
-Records the raw MPEG stream from the antenna, complete with the Dolby AC-3 5.1 audio. End result should be 60 frames per second when source material is at that rate
-Has HDMI output so that I can still watch live TV without rewiring
-Allows me to pull the recordings from the DVR so I can use them on my computer
