My roof has an OTA antenna which receives digital TV signals.
I like to build a PVR system in my living room which will record the OTA TV programs from a TV program guide with remote control.
Requirement:
-Watch internet videos such as Youtube
-Able to watch live OTA TV with pause/rewind/etc
-Able to easily record OTA TV series or movies from the TV tuner
-Watch one channel while recording another channel
-Fast, responsive, and attractive menus and TV guide
-one 1080P HDMI output
-Support linux such as xbmc and OpenELEC
-Ease of use
-Remote friendly
-Quiet
-Use little power
Which hardwares should I get?
I wonder whether the combination of an Android box and USB ATSC tuner are good choices for me.
E.g.
Matricom G-Box Midnight MX2

Geniatech U6012B - ATSC Hybrid USB TV/Radio Stick

or
Jynxbox ATSC Tuner Dongle USB external module for Android HD

Please suggest alternatives.
