So, over the weekend I managed to setup an HDHomeRun Connect with a 50W OTA antenna. I was able to scan the stations and display some of the OTA channels from the WMC7 box that I have in my network. I was using the HDHomeRun Installer/Setup scripts to do this. So far I have not ventured to attach the Connect to my WMC7 box because I already have a running HDHomeRun Prime setup that works. I am a bit afraid to change it out in case I cannot get the Prime setup again.
I shouldn't be this cautious given all of the things that I have done with my network thus far. I have gotten some sage advice from the Cord Cutters group on Reddit which I am about to try out. I have a program which can selectively limit the channels on the WMC7 box.
