Review on πŸ“Ί Silicondust HDHomeRun Scribe 4K OTA DVR Recorder: A Comprehensive Review" by Brendan Thorpe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great tuner, bad software

The good things first: The tuner works great. HEVC channels are accepted with no problem. The app works great on Windows. Unfortunately, that's where the good ends. There is an HDHomeRun app for Android. Garbage. It crashes, freezes video when changing channels, and doesn't support audio decoding of HEVC channels. That means someone who really wants to use the system has to use something like Plex. Which negates the value of a tuner with its own deck and DVR support. TL; DR: Just buy the cheaper version without your own DVR and integrate the tuner with your Plex media server.

Pros
  • High-quality workmanship
Cons
  • Requires socket
