I had read about the SiliconDust HDHomeRun dual tuner device. To make matters worse, the Signal Strength meter on EyeTV never registered over 30% despite me getting a coax amplifier (the tuners worked worse without the amplifier). I tolerated it up until recently and finally decided to look for alternatives.
The PowerKey software was basically abandoned several years ago and kept crashing. In addition, I tried using a Sophosticated Circuits PowerKey to toggle the power supplies on and off, but that didn’t work well either. I tried to alleviate the problem by scripting the EyeTV software to quit and restart each day. The system has worked pretty well, but occasionally I had to reset the boxes (they were connected via USB and each had a power supply) and that caused some shows to not record. About 2 years ago, I replaced our TiVo with a Mac Mini with 2 Elgato EyeTV 250 Plus HD tuners.
