It is on a traditional computer. Mini-tower, monitor, mouse. Updated the main HD about a year ago to SSD (Samsung 850 Pro 256GB; loving the speed, especially on boot). Recorded TV is saved on a 2TB WD Black series hard drive, purchased over a year ago. (I wanted to get 4TB but 2TB was the most that board can support, just barely missed some production cut over date... grrr. Could have tried external, but I didn't.)
Tuner is a SiliconDust HDHomeRun Dual (HDHR3-US) that I bought fall 2013, still running great. I love that I can get signal info (signal strength, signal quality, symbol quality for any channel) over wifi, so I could move/adjust the antenna better, especially if the antenna isn't right by the tuner. (I'm still not ready to "cut the cord" in my case from DirecTV, but the number of OTA channels and programming available, if you're close to Nashville, combined with internet streaming these days is making it much easier.)
