HDHomeRun - SCRIBE DUO 1TB DVR - Black

I've been without Local Access TV for years due to a 2017 Vizio I bought that didn't come with a tuner. Luckily, i stumbled upon this unique device that allows me to watch local access on any device connected to my internet. I have an unhealthy obsession with Antique Road Show and a few other extremely odd PBS shows, and now I can RECORD them and gleefully watch every antique that touches a curators hands. Seriously, the HDHomerun device works elegantly and appears to be made of seriously good components vs. a cheap external tuner. The device boots up right away when you install the homerun app on your devices. You can't go wrong with this thing.

After discovering an antenna in the attic of the house we bought last year, I picked up this tuner/DVR. Initial setup took longer than expected because I incorrectly assumed this has Wi-Fi support. After connecting this to a Wi-Fi/ethernet bridge I had on-hand, I was able to complete the setup. The Scribe was able to pick up all the channels listed on the FCC's DTV reception map for our address with good picture quality. That said, the first party smart TV apps are not good, lacking support for the DVR function, and the PC support is poor at best. The thing that ultimately pushed me to return this was near constant buffering, which may be attributable to the Wi-Fi/ethernet bridge in use.

My second HDHomeRun device This allows me to record from my cable tv line. I can receive non scrambled channels, basically about 30 or so. I can record major networks off of cable and skip commercials and watch it on PC, phone or iPad thru the HDHR app. Came with a free one year sub to the channel guide for timed recording. Will purchase a years sub when the first free year is over. Highly recommended

I have a TiVo Roamio OTA as part of my home theater, but I really watch more TV on my Mac. I had an Elgato EyeTV hybrid that served me well for years, but it’s software is not supported on Mac OS Catalina, so I had to look for a replacement. At first, I had my doubts about this HDHomeRun, but I’m glad I got it. It works great, and has some advantages over EyeTV: it has two tuners, so it’s possible to record two shows at a time, something that I couldn’t do with my old device. It also make it easier to record shows at consecutive time slots. I highly recommend this product.

Easy setup. Better than fire tv recast because it works with regular cable. Wish it had Wi-Fi.

Works fantastic most of the time but still very buggy with Plex love tv/dvr most times and for what it is probably shouldn’t be more than $100

This was a little tricky getting setup to use - not really much in the way of instructions, but with some hit and miss attempts I finally got it up and running. Works good with my LG OLED TV, TV syncs up without the need for a computer to use the DVR. Nice that I can record two programs at once.

I was unable to use this as it requires hard line access to a modem and router. I don't have this option because my apartment came wired only with Wi-Fi. The device is nice and compact and is definitely well built. The app is easy to navigate too. Really hope they come out with a model that can run on Wi-Fi.
