Worth Money Spent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device works as described. The electronics is really nice. I live in an area with a low signal and I use an antenna amplifier, bur for this receiver the amplifier had an opposite effect, i.e. it picks more channels when no amplifier connected. The bad part is that to use it as a free DVR you need to be a real guru, however paid services work great. I gave up with free DVR idea and subscribed to Plex ($5 a month). The receiver supports all possible protocols and is discovered by most software and hardware tools in a second,

Great Solution for OTA TV Shows
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although I'm not a fan of broadcast TV any more, there is the occasional news, sport or special worth viewing. Connect an indoor or outdoor antenna and stream 720P to almost any device. And for $18.00 a year a respectable DVR service.

Works well with Plex
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've mostly enjoyed my time with the HDHomeRun, at least with Plex... I'm disappointed in what HDHomeRun provides out of the box. I don't know if I'd recommend it by itself

not as seamless as I would like
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.first I will say that it works and the picture quality was good. I used the plex pass software, but ultimately I found it to be very sluggish when changing channels. I do not believe this is a result of the network speed or my computer speed as I can easily stream 4k video games etc from all around my house to include from the pc to the TV. Ultimately I returned this due to not having the ability to obtain the off air channels i wanted. I might have lived with the slow response time if not for that.

Quick and Simple
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's easy to setup, with just connecting an ethernet cable from the router to the Tuner. It works great with Plex and its DVR function. The HDHomeRun app works fine, but the guide to looking at channels isn't the best, but it works.

Good for getting OTA channels on your LAN
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to record my local OTA channels using the DVR service from HdHomerun. So far it works pretty good. The interface is not as easy to use as a traditional guide, but if you want to be able to record TV and don't want to pay the DVR fees, this is one option.

Excellent way to get OAT signal anywhere at home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I connected HD HomeRun Duo to my router via Ethernet cable, once it is connected to the router any device on your WiFi and wired network can receive the signal from the OAT of the two tuners included (DUO). I have HD HomeRun in between the router and the antenna. I run a long enough regular coax cable from the antenna and long enough ethernet cable from the router to keep the HD HomeRun somewhere in between where there is a power outlet. The is a Signal GH app in Apple AppStore which you can buy to find the optimal location for the antenna. The HD HomeRun works perfectly for me, it has an app in iPad with which I watch one channel and can watch another channel either on Fire TV or desktop. I use this with ClearStream Eclipse Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna, which is taped on the window and have some cable snaking through on the window edge to give more "antenna-like" reception option.

Posted .Great tip on the Signal app! Finding the optimum location for the antenna for Over The Air TV can always be pretty tricky, but it sounds like you've got it nailed down. Welcome to the HDHomeRun family!

Good to have around the house.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If u own any media device, fire tv, fire stick, andriod device, apple tv, etc...and dont have cable. This would be very useful for people who watches local channels in air without changing video inputs.

HD Homerun cord cutting simplified
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device has excellent OTA ability. After installation and scanning getting 59 useable channels. Bought another to expand viewing on more devices in household. Will add one more for more independent viewing on separate devices.

TV Tuner for Plex
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tuner works well with Plex and allows me to watch from other places. It needs to be connected to a ethernet cable, though.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from HDHomeRun Sales & Support
Posted .You are entirely correct, Ronald. We try to keep the best picture from antenna to TV/tablet. And that means having a pretty strong, reliable connection from the HDHomeRun Duo to the router. It's one of the ways we can guarantee a great experience when using with Plex or our own HDHomeRun app. Sounds like it's working for you! Thanks for the review.
