HDHomeRun is very good.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is decent. But I can’t use my plex account to watch tv when away from home.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .Plex is a 3rd party vendor offering their own branded software. While our tuners work with their solution and many consumers are happy, the limitation you mentioned is not affiliated with the HDHomeRun tuners themselves in which you are reviewing here
Welcome to the family and we hope you enjoy our tuner products

Does what it needs to
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised except (so far) Apple TV does not have an app. It is nice watching football while cutting the lawn.

Excellent and works great with Plex
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this hdhomerun to use with Plex to record our favorite over the air tv shows because our PlayStation Vue subscription dropped some of the local programming such as NBC. The HDhomeRun was so east to hook up and pair to Plex. Everything works awesome and records our shoes with no issues using Plex and also allows us to watch over the air tv anywhere!

Posted .That's awesome to hear! Also, if you are a Vue user, feel free to take a look at our new HDHomeRun Premium TV, which allows you to supplement your Over The Air lineup with streaming cable TV channels. You might be able to get everything you watch all in one place! https://www.silicondust.com/premium-tv/

Works as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ran into some problems with this until I realized it needed a firmware update. After the update it works fantastically in conjunction with the app. I can use it to watch live TV on my computer, Fire tablet, and iPhone. Users who would like to use the DVR feature after the 2-month trial will have to pay SiliconDust for a subscription.

Posted .Great review. We always want our hardware to just work. But in the cases they don't, a firmware update can really fix what's ailing. Thanks for the review!

Must have if you have cut the cord
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connect this up with an OTA antenna like the clearstream and you get broadcast TV over wifi to any device in your house including your mobile phone and tablets. I use an app called channels which gives you a tv-like guide but there are free alternatives that are close. Definitely worth the purchase to fill in the gaps if you have cut the cord.

Good product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this product because I have a downstairs bedroom that receives poor television reception. We connected the HDHomeRun device to an antenna in an upstairs room, wired the antenna to the router, and we were quickly up and running. I was disappointed that the product does not have a native app for the Fire TV Stick, but I was able to purchase the InstaTV app, and that app has solved the problem. The picture is not as sharp as with a direct antenna attention, but I am pleased nonetheless.

Great for taking advantage of local HD TV
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this Connect Duo in the attic of my condo with a large outdoor antenna. The attic was the only place I could get a clear signal with an antenna. I have it attached by ethernet to a Google Wifi access point. I have a Nvidia Shield attached to my TV running Plex. It did take a little bit of fine tuning, but now I enjoy HD local channels on my TV.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had HDhomerun tuner for several years. The power supply died so I decided to replace it with the newer version. Works great and now works with more software like Kodi. Easy to set up.

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hooked my outdoor Omni directional antenna to my 2 tuner HD home run receiver which converts on air HD Channels to my homes wifi network. The on air channels broadcast antennas are about 60 miles from my home and I now can stream these channels from my iPad and IPhone to my HD TV through my Apple TV. Easy to set up and works great

Great for OTA Streaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great way to stream OTA (over-the-air) channels to devices, but lacking a native Apple TV app has been a bit of a disappointment. Besides that, it has been a great purchase, especially since we live in an area with a lot of channels that are broadcast.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .Thanks for the review! We're definitely always looking for ways to expand, and so we've definitely taken a hard look at Apple TV support.

Over The Air Love
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cut the cord and went looking for a device to work with OTA antenna. Ran across the HDHomeRun Connect and have been in OTA bliss. I love it. Super was to set up and very reliable. Not looking back at cable.

Works, but needs more things
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The software isn't native to Roku. You'll be fine with nvidia shield. If you have a Roku, Tablo makes boxes to interface with Roku software out of the box. You also need an antenna for either.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .We are definitely always looking to expand the platforms we work with. It is possible to use and HDHomeRun on a Roku, but you need to use 3rd party apps to do it. See here for a full list of compatible platforms. https://www.silicondust.com/live-tv/#devices

Great video quality, easy to set up.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device, just do your homework prior to buying to make sure it's compatible with your devices. Example, to use with Apple TV you need to download an app, one of the available apps (better one) requires a fee. No paid apps are needed for Xbox or Amazon Firestick. Does not work with Roku TV.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .Even Roku can work with the correct app. For example, if you are a Plex user, you can watch live TV from a HDHomeRun on a Roku. With that said, we totally agree. It's always a good idea to do a little bit of homework to make sure your house is ready, particularly when dealing with Over the Air TV. Welcome to the HDHomeRun family!

Great way to enjoy OTA Channels
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The HDHomerun was easy to set up and get going. I really didn't care for the native apps for Android or AppleTV, but this is much easier to use when you add the Channels App.
