Perfect for my cord cutting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got tired of having to call either my cable company or DirecTV every 3 months or so to get a reasonable price so I decided to cut the cord. Where I live local channel aren't available via streaming services, and I watch some programming and sports on the networks, so I bought an antenna that I installed in my attic and a HomeRun Connect. Hookup was super-easy and all I had to do was turn it on and was able to watch TV on my mobile devices using the app. The dual tuners are great and I haven't felt limited. I did not need the higher end HomeRun because I planned to use it on setup boxes or mobile devices around my home and I have a pretty good home network. I use an app called Channels to watch TV using Apple TV and Roku. It works great and has a DVR add-on which I run on one of my computers. BTW, I use PS Vue for my other streaming channels, so my monthly TV cost has gone from $144/month to $53/month.

Cool Device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've wanted to try an HD homerun for some time now. I've watched many videos and read a lot of articles that intrigued me. Best Buy finally started carrying these and I was fortunate enough to get it on sale. We just moved in to our new home and trying to avoid cable so I purchased this unit. Setup was super simple and out of the box with a 15 dollar antenna was able to pick up 30 channels. The signal was clear and it worked on the home network with no issues. Using it with Google's live channels app allows me to dvr shows for free which is a big bonus. For cord cutters this is a must own so only one antenna is needed and it can be streamed on most devices.

Time to Cut that Cord
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can I say that others haven't already said? It simply works and is very easy to setup. Once connected to a good antenna and you go through the steps of scanning for channels, you are all set to stream live TV.

Great network tuner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already had a HDHomeRun extend before purchasing this one but I ran out of tuners for my recordings so I started looking into this one. The Connect works great so far, it was recognized by my set up very quickly and was updated to the latest firmware version. Now I have 4 tuners total and everything works perfectly. I purchased SiliconDust DVR service and it works great, they have an app for every platform and the app itself is good, I would like to have a grid type guide. It takes some time to get used to their format. I like the fact that this company keeps improving their products and have very active support. I got a great price at best buy with their price match guarantee.

Quick setup for OTA streaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The setup was quick and easy. The app works well and it works excellently with Plex OTA DVR. One thing I would recommend is a good amplified antenna the further from towers you are.

Works Fine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does exactly with it should but if you are using it with Plex I would recommend the HDHR Extend. That one has a build in transcoder and works much better on lower powered servers
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .Welcome to the family. You can even mix and match the Connect and Extend and use what you need based on device and app you choose to use - we don't limit you to one choice. Thanks for the review

HDHomeRun is a Home Run
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device has gotten me closer to my cord cutting goal. I really like the integration with Plex, which has made my wife very happy. I would highly recommend this product if you looking to cut the cord. I should mention an added bonus with Plex, I can also view my local channel remotely. Which was a nice because I travel and hate having to filter through the hotel channels. You will need a Plex Pass account.

Works with NAS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cutting the cable can be traumatic. Not being able to record your shows makes it more difficult. My VCR won't take digital broadcast and I'm spoiled with today's quality. This takes care of it and combined with Plex makes setting the record schedule easy.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .Fun fact: Over the Air TV typically has the best possible quality for network television available, because cable TV tends to compress more. If you're looking for the best quality for your DVR, you picked a great way to go. Also, Plex, along with all our software partners, is awesome! Welcome to the HDHomeRun (and cordcutting) family!

Works like a champ
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.HD Homerun allows us to have one antenna placed in the optimum location to pick up as many channels as possible. Using WI fi, all our tv's connect through that. Scan for channels through your computer, download the HD app and your up and running. Great picture in HD quality and a very easy to use guide.
