I recently cut the cable and installed an antenna. The tuner in this box allows you to record and/or watch as many as 2 channels at the same time while also transcoding recorded files to smaller sizes more suitable to wireless tablets, phones, or streaming boxes on less robust networks. If more tuners are necessary just add a splitter to the coax and network in additional HDHomerun tuners as necessary. Two of these boxes would allow 4 tuners, 3 of these boxes would allow 6 tuners, and you can’ record or watch (or do both) in any combination for as many tuners as you have. The free guide provided by either Windows Media Center or Kodi allow for completely free television and DVR capability. Other guide services from HDHomerun or Plex are provided by subscription but allow for easier user conveniences.and/or ability to record to NAS or Hard drives included on such streamers as the nVidia Shield Pro. HDHomerun makes television fun and finally AFFORDABLE.

I have a Mohu leaf beam feeding into this device and it works perfectly. It was very simple to setup over wifi. I have this signal feeding into my Plex media server and it was a bit tricky to get the transcoder to kick in. But, a few forum posts in, I found the settings I needed. I had SlingTV before buying this device and the picture provided by the antenna and the HDHomerun is far better than the picture provided by SlingTV for my local channels. The HDHomerun apps are a little strange to me, but they work. The only disappointing thing is that I discovered there was no Apple TV app. I do not own any other Apple devices, so I can't use the airplay functionality. I've gotten around that shortcoming by using Plex and the (not free) Channels app on the AppleTV.

Top of the line hardware decoding which comes with own tv software and guide dvr solution is also available for fee and requires additional hardware. Well built with metal casing with heatsink which avoids need for noisy fans. Cordcutter essential.

I bought to use with my plex app. for the live tv and DVR functionality. It works great because it transcodes the TV show into H.264 and has smooth play back.

I also have a hdhomerun connect. I purchased this to help decrease disk space when I record using DVR, works as intended.
