Actually no, I still haven't made any decision. And I do not care about free blockbuster movies.
I'm still very puzzled about how to deal with ATSC, and actually this whole thread has made me rethink about the ability to stream ATSC from my US home to my European home and DVB from my European home to my US home.
Transcoding issues become critical as my US home got Fiber but my European home only DSL. And now I discover that there is no European version of the HD Homerun Extend (which unlike the Connect, can transcode)
Now add on the top of that that I would have loved to have the SIP phone managed by the same box as well. But while something like the Freebox in France can do everything: Router, Media Server, DVB, SIP, and VPN Server, it looks like I'm going to need at least 3 different pieces to do the same here in the US (which is why I noticed the Skystream, which at least has the ATSC tuner integrated, but I don't know if it can transcode)... And I still have no proper solution for the transcoding part of the European streams anyway.
Ah well, my needs are always more complex than most people I guess
