This is somewhat higher than the value that I observed (23 MBits/sec), so I suspect that the channel that I was viewing resided in a MUX that was not full (but the MUX might become full at sometime in the future).Four DVB-T MUXes operating at 27 MBits/sec would exceed the capacity of the HDHomerun's network connection, so this is not a usable configuration.(2) Professor Google claims that a DVB-T2 MUX in the UK has a MUX data rate up to 40 MBits/sec. This is in agreement with the value that I observed.Four (and even three) DVB-T2 MUXes operating at 40 MBits/sec would exceed the capacity of the HDHomerun's network connection, so this is not a usable configuration. In reality, the HDHomerun is usable only as a dual tuner for DVB-T2 MUXes.(3) Professor Google claims that an ATSC1 MUX has a data rate of 19.4 MBits/sec.Four ATSC1 MUXes operating at 20 MBits/sec could be carried satisfactorily by the HDHomerun's network connection, so this is a usable configuration.(4) Professor Google claims that an ATSC3 MUX has a data rate up to 57 MBits/sec, although practical data rates are likely to be in the range 25 to 26 MBits/sec.I don't know whether there is an HDHomerun for ATSC3, but the above data rate figures suggest that a quad-tuner ATSC3 device would need a gigabit network connection to be sure of not encountering data-rate problems.-- from CyberSimian in the UK</blockquote>
