This unit allows me to cast local channels to all my tv with one antenna set up in a location that gets better reception.

Sometimes where you put your antenna really matters for the best reception. It's great having a device that gives you freedom in where to put that antenna! Thanks for the review!

This product is fantastic, it works as describe. The only this, if you have a Roku TV you will have to use the Roku Media Player in order to see the channels. I can see TV now in my Ipad, computer, cellphone and TV.

Using the Roku Media Player is one of our favorite life hacker-type ways of accessing HDHomeRun devices! Excellent tip and catch! Thanks for the review!

This is the third HDHomerun I have purchased. I absolutely love them. It is simple to set up and get start watching. If you use an OTA, I highly recommend this unit. (I also have the Quatro and love it too!)

We love to repeat this because it's so cool, but one of the best things about HDHomeRun devices is that they stack. So if you have a DUO and a QUATRO, it's like having 6 tuners in a single device!

This is great for over the air TV. It hooks into my wireless router and I can watch TV on any of my devices anywhere in the house. Easy to use, and if the antenna is in the right position great channel selection.

There's definitely some real value in playing around with the antenna when you first set things up to make sure you're getting the best possible reception. Sometimes if you just face it a slightly different way, you can get a bunch of new channels! Thanks for the review and welcome to the HDHomeRun family!

Super easy installation, great picture, perfect solution for cord cutters. I plugged it in in my Plex server saw it immediately. I can now stream live TV throughout my house on any device, and I can use Plex for DVR.

I got rid of satellite tv and now I stream most of my channels (Netflix, Prime, Disney+, etc.) with Roku Ultra and watch over the air stations (Fox, ABC, NBC, etc.) with this device and an external antenna. I am saving over $100 a month by dumping satellite and now - no rain fade! The Roku app for this device is great - no problems. Windows app works great too. But the iPad app sucks. Try the Channels app if you want this to run on ios.

Sorry to hear about your iPad experience. Feel free to contact [email protected] and let us know what you didn't like about the iPad app. We've recently put a lot of work into improving the iPad experience. The visual style hasn't changed, but input and control should feel much better.

You can use quite a large number of apps the HDHomeRun DUO. In addition to using the official HDHomeRun app, you can use Plex, Emby, Channels, upnp in some cases, and even Google's Channels app. No other TV tuner device even comes close on app support. If there were a specific app you are interested in support that doesn't have support, feel free to update your review with that app, and we'll see what we can do.

I bought this to replace my TiVo after the cable company increased my monthly bill. The HDHomeRun Connect paired with Plex is awesome!! It allows me to record the 2018 Olympics and watch when I can.

This device worked really well on setup, great quality and easy to use. Unfortunately, issues started pretty quickly. Mainly, losing network connection. So I don't know if this had something to do with my setup (Netgear Orbi) or if it was the product. No real answers online to solve the issues I had. I had to unplug and re-plug to get it to work again but only for a short while.

It's definitely a great idea to do a little antenna research before going forward with Over the Air TV. http://www.tvfool.com/ is usually a great place to start!

Thanks for the review. FYI, we have no launched pre-orders for the HDHomeRun SCRIBE which does include 1TB of storage for recording in the box.
