I've tried a couple of similar products & this is the best for ease of set-up & operation. Wish they'd put an SD card slot & recording circuit in the box, to make it perfect.

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.

Ask your neighbors what's working for them before you buy.
This needs a HDTV antenna...not included. 30 miles from town, I bought a 65 mile antenna that marginally works only IF against a window. May need the exterior roof mounted antenna at $99...and a butt-load of coax cable.
Cutting the cord, so far, has not been worth it.

It is DEFINITELY worth talking with a Best Buy associate about cord cutting in your area before buying, if you haven't ever tested your local antenna. In fact, most HDHomeRun packaging now includes a code you can scan that will direct you to a website that will say exactly how many channels you can expect to get, depending on how powerful your antenna is! And if you don't want to visit the store to scan the code, just visit www.tvfool.com

Getting local TV on multiple devices w/o cable sub

You must have a TV antenna and internet to use this product.
I already had an antenna but I could only use it for the upstairs TV because our main TV didn't have a coaxial input. This solved that problem.
Somewhat annoying to have to find an app to connect to the device to watch local TV, but luckily Xbox One is able to find it.
You can also connect to it and watch on Android phones. Idk about Apple devices.

Completely agree about the right antenna. Do you know you can actually work with an associate in the store to help you find one? Visit TVFool.com and talk to an associate about how far away the channels are from your home.

The Homerun Duo is great for watching my OTA channels on all my devices that have the Homerun app,FireTv,Samsung tablet and smart phone...It was easy to setup and get running....It does seem a little slow when changing channels and the screen turns green before the channel displays...it would be nice if you could access the device away from home since it is connected to my router.

As a rule, we try very hard to make sure all apps can change channel within about 3 seconds. If you find it taking longer than that, feel free to contact [email protected]. We'll see if we can't figure out what's causing the delay.

It's great to hear that it just keeps going. That's really how a good HDHomeRun device should be. You plug it in once and then just forget about it, because it just works from that point forward! Thanks for the review and a belated welcome to the HDHomeRun family!

Great tuner for watching all of the local channels. Connected to an attic antenna and home router for two live HD vide streams with excellent quality.

If you've got an attic antenna, you are way ahead of the game! Most people don't necessarily need one, but if they have one, they'll be getting channels from all over the place! Thanks for the review!

Did you know that Over the Air TV providers the highest quality version of any network stream, which means that any sports you see on ABC, NBC, CBS, or FOX are at their highest quality with just an HDHomeRun and an antenna! Thanks for the review, and we completely agree. This IS the way to watch sports.

You are absolutely correct. An awesome thing for those with data caps is all the video you stream off an antenna into your home network doesn't touch the data cap. You can get literally unlimited video without using a byte of video streaming cap! Thanks for the review!
