Works great, except.....
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Very easy to set up with your home network. Very easy to use the DVR and program unless you're doing it from a Roku. The Roku interface is clunky and impossible to set up recordings. The controls with the Roku remote are not intuitive at all. On the other hand, it works great on an Android phone and the Xbox One. Both are easy to use and program recordings. If the Roku interface was better I would rate it 5 stars. One last thing, you do not have to set up an account until after 1 year. Your free year starts as soon as it connects to the internet. After that it is $35/year.

GreatOTA Streaming Device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.The HDHomerun Scribe provides the best picture quality I've found that streams your OTA programs over your internet to various devices. The device runs very cool to the touch so it's has well designed electronics. My frustration was with the Firestick App that I used to interface with the HDHomerun. The App needs some refinement which I'm sure will happen.

Posted .Thanks for the review! Picture quality is one of the most important considerations for us, so we choose to leave the video stream 100% untouched until it is time to actually play it on your TV. The recording on your SCRIBE is exactly the same as when you got it from your antenna. As for the app, if you are speaking of the HDHomeRun app, feel free to join us in the Silicondust forum, where we are regularly updating the app and taking suggestions for improvements from the community.

Local Stations YEAH!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I purchased this because we did not get local stations and now we do. I have to switch the input ( which my husband hate) but its great

Awesome storage capacity!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is a must have dvr to add to your collection.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .We're pretty happy with the storage capacity ourselves. Did you know that one SCRIBE QUATRO can record every episode of Friends, and The Office, and Parks and Rec from all the many years they were showing, and still have room for more? It should last anyone a good long time!

HDHomeRun - SCRIBE QUATRO 1TB DVR - Black
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.I've owned the HDHomeRun - SCRIBE QUATRO 1TB DVR - Black for almost a year now and besides the user GUI not being as user intuative as I would like, it is still running just as it did the day I bought it.

Nice Idea, but Limited
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I bought this to replace an HD HomeRun Extend. My only issue with it is the fact that you can only view your DVR recordings by using the desktop app. You can't see your recordings in the filesystem nor can you encode them for use in other viewing apps.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .Thanks for the review! We're always looking to improve upon our products, and no where is that more true than with HDHomeRun SCRIBE. Right now the primarily effort is to make sure the SCRIBE is as easy to use and setup as possible for people who maybe have never had anything but a cable box DVR, but over time we definitely want to add more power features for people who will know how to use them!
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
It just works! Easiest DVR out there
Posted .Got one of the first one of these. Plugged it into my antenna and router, and downloaded the app. The DVR was already working! I could start recording right then! I've set up a lot of DVRs in my life. This was by far the easiest to get started.

Posted .Exactly!
Q: QuestionIs there no App for Samsung Smart TVs? I read that support was removed with a firmware update on the TV. I look bad since I recommended this to a friend and now I cannot not find an app.
Asked by cooking.
- A:Answer No, it’s not on the list of compatible platforms. Buy a Roku or AppleTV and you’ll be all set. https://www.silicondust.com/live-tv/#devices

Q: QuestionDoes this have to be connected with an Ethernet cable?
Asked by Rosweed.
- A:Answer Yes. All HDHomeRun devices require a direct connection due to the bandwidth requirements.

Q: QuestionDOES THIS DVR OR RECORD FOR VERIZON OR SPECTRUM????
Asked by TAMMY.
- A:Answer No. You may be able to get HDhomerun Prime to work for you but not sure. This device is for OTA signal. Way of saving money.
Answered by ThatGuy
Q: QuestionWill this work with comcast DVR service?
Asked by R4V3N0U55.
- A:Answer Likely not. This is for over the air TV with an antenna.
Answered by HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Q: QuestionI'm trying to get rid of my internet connection in my house. I have an OTA antenna and a Samsung TV that has a TV tuner with a built in TV guide. I have Verizon for my cell phone. Do they sell a DVR that will work with the equipment I have?
Asked by Stoopnagul.
- A:Answer Unfortunately not. All HDHomeRun products require an ethernet connection to a router. Additionally, HDHomeRun DVRs can only take signals from HDHomeRun tuners. You can't use a Samsung TV tuner with an HDHomeRun DVR.
Answered by HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Q: QuestionI have a Samsung TV with a built in TV guide for OTA. If I buy a DVR and connect it to my TV with my OTA antenna do I need an internet connection to make it work? Or will it work with just my OTA antenna, Samsung TV &, DVR.
Asked by Stoopnagul.
- A:Answer The HDHomerun has to be connected to the internet to work.
Answered by Morgs
Q: QuestionCan I connect this DVR to output (to TV) between the sat.rcvr and the my old tv set?
Asked by Dave.
- A:Answer The HDHomeRun SCRIBE QUATRO is designed only to work with Over the Air TV. You plug it into an antenna, and then plug the other end into your internet router. It is also designed specifically to make Over the Air TV available on your network, so I won't connect directly to your TV. Instead, you plug something like an Amazon Fire TV Stick to your TV, and then use the HDHomeRun app on the Fire Stick to play back and record television.

Q: QuestionExactly how does this new SiloconDust product differ from the previous SiliconDust HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO Tuner Free Live OTA TV - Black Model:HDHR5-4US (SKU:6079602)? (which we purchased back in May 2019)
Asked by KD4MNI.
- A:Answer This includes a 1TB harddrive, which allows for hundreds of hours of recording built into the device. It can actually be combined with your CONNECT QUATRO to give you 1TB of recording, plus 8 total tuners.
