Customer Ratings & Reviews

It seems like the tuner is a little weak in this box. My TVs get much better reception than this. While the TVs are crystal clear, I’m seeing a lot of digital artifacts through this.

I was unable to get this unit to work and after reading the instructions I realized it still remains subscription and connection to a computer to record shows.

This is for tech types only. This doesn't act as a TV tuner per se. You have to use this on a network with a computer and software.

Was not to thrilled with user interface. Seem to work ok just was not a good fit for me.

I gave this unit to try based on other reviews, but found it not to be as user-friendly as I had hoped. It’s really not much better than a smart TV with a OTA tuner. Program storage is very clumsy and next to impossible without a subscription. I returned it and bought the Amazon FireTV Cube and Recast storage. Yes it’s an expensive option but far less than cable with a DVR.

I bought it to watch and record local channels. The setup was easy for the view portion but a nightmare on reading and actually recording to my NAS. Tech support was useless. Returned for a refund. If you are only going to watch tv and not record it works fine.

I could not get it to work with my televisions, so I returned the item.

works fine with FireTV...big negative that there isn't an app with Roku.

could not really review, software would not install.

It works well with their free app on my Android tablets and phone. But, I am very disappointed that it does not work with my Roku, Chromecast or Fire devices. Their forums say the DVR service can be used with a work-around, but that requires their paid service.

The unit did work when I originally connected it and I was able to watch it on tv and also my iPad and phone. After a couple of weeks it stopped working for the tv but still would work on the iPad. I ended up returning the unit.

I used the product for about a week and sometime it work and other time it does not. It takes up a lot of bandwidth. My internet speed is over 100 mb/s and this thing still doesn't work smoothly. Videos are always choppy.

I purchased this unit to try out the new Premium TV streaming service from Silicon Dust. I already had a Plex DVR setup using a Hauppauge QuadHD internal TV tuner and it worked perfect! Great TV signal strength. I plugged this tuner into the same exact antenna and it barely received any channels. The ones it did receive cut out regularly. I also couldn’t get Plex to recognize the demo premium TV channels. (Plex issue) Nedless to say I ended up returning this unit.

This device, advertised as a DRV, is simply a 4 channel tuner without any storage or WiFi capability. It requires connection to router via an ethernet cable, and is a storage parasite, requiring a PC or smart phone for data storage. Further, I was unable to get it to run on Windows10 after reviewing videos and documents on how to do it. It requires making system changes at a C prompt, which I haven't used since I got rid of my 286 in 1993. How arcane! This product simply isn't ready for prime time. A TiVo with 500GB storage and WiFi is only $50 more and is plug and play. A much better buy.

It’s worthless !! And it doesn’t make any sense in buying this . Took ant to roof with the supers help . Still ch didn’t work in a daily basis ! . Had to run ch look up everyday and adjust !

Looking to cut the cord and get rid of cable, I decided to purchase the HDHomeRun Connect Quattro and connect it to an antenna, which I've mounted in my attic. When I got the HDHomeRun home, I kind of chuckled when I read the installation instructions: plug in the cables and go to a website. What shocked me was that that's really it. The website immediately detected my HDHomeRun device and instructed me to download the appropriate installer for the computer I was using (which happened to be a Mac). The software not only installed the client app, but also updated the devices' firmware, and I was up and running in under five minutes. I didn't have to create an account or enter any codes anywhere...it just worked. That's probably the easiest hardware installation I've ever done (and as an IT guy, I've done many)! From there, I was able to start watching all of my local TV on my Mac. Another couple quick installs got me access to it on my TVs via my Amazon Fire Sticks, my phone, and my iPad. Every app found the HDHomeRun with no configuration needed. Now I can watch local TV on any of my devices, not just my TVs, and the quality is as good (if not better) as with cable. I was also surprised to see how many unique channels are available over the air that aren't on cable. The next step was to connect the HDHomeRun to my Plex server so that I can record shows and access my local TV over the Internet when I travel. Again, a couple clicks and the Plex server found the HDHomeRun, imported it's channel list, and started downloading a program guide. I remember how excited I was when we finally got cable on our street when I was a little kid--I could finally watch Nickelodeon at home. Now I'm just as excited that I'll be returning my cable boxes to the cable company in the next few days. I don't watch Nickelodeon anymore, nor do I really watch any of the other 10 million channels I get...I think I will be quite happy with my HDHomeRun (along with my various streaming services) for many years to come.

This item had to be purchased with an antenna, I had to return it because it did not work with an antenna in my area.

If your in a good enough area to Receive a good signal this product may work for you

I ordered a Homerun Quatro from Best Buy and received it the next day. Excellent delivery time. I had been testing a dual tuner Homerun Connect. The Quatro was a drop-in replacement. Overall this is an excellent tuner. I run the DVR software on a media server with the Kodi Homerun add-on. Kodi is running on a combination of Intel NUCs, Raspberry Pi 3s and PCs. All work great with excellent quality. The video files from the DVR are either 720P or 1080P MPEG2 files @12 mbs with 5.1 audio. Any of the clients can watch live TV, manage DVR recordings and playback.

No where in the advertising was I told that I had to have WiFi service to run this product. I wanted a stand alone DVR that did not require WiFi. This product I have thrown in the trash can because it is of no value to me when you consider the monthly WiFi cost.
