Basic tuner works offline

More advanced than the older model, displays station information, highlights HD stations. VLC will play the content, paste the link and go. The web interface is simple, no information is displayed. An older model app wouldn't find it; If you have many devices, finding an IP address is difficult unless you can configure your router to assign a permanent IP address. On all TV stations within a 30mile+ radius, he worked with an outside antenna and a 10dB amplifier. He lost channels because of the…

  • I'm worried

Works with Plex and all my streaming devices

Of course the picture quality depends on your location and the antenna connected. From the side of the network is absolutely flawless. Bought primarily to work with Plex. But since Plex doesn't support Live TV on Xbox, I use the HDhomerun app on Xbox and go straight to the device. I stream to all other devices (Shield, Roku, iPhone, tablets, computers, etc.) using Plex. The longer the cable from the antenna, the greater the signal loss. So I installed this device near the antenna and ran a Cat5

Pros

The first one died after two weeks

I was excited about HomeRun as I was looking for a way to stream OTA TV to Apple and Fire devices. Connecting to the Fire/Revain was quick and easy. apple, not so much. Once set up, I found the software interface clunky - the volume controls suck. Given the nature of OTA, ATSC 1.0, the picture is not bad - from 480p to 1080p depending on the transmitter and receiver. Fun and games for two weeks, then the ethernet port died, as did the port connecting HomeRun to your wireless router. But Revain…

Pros
  • A little about it
Cons
  • Long wait

Great when it works. Roku app issues

This item was purchased to enable OTA TV for my home devices and TVs. Many of them are equipped with Roku or have added Roku. Well, for Roku, the hdhomerun app is a flop. It keeps randomly stopping playback and returning to the main hdhomerun channel screen. No pixelation or signal degradation, just stop playing. It doesn't matter if the Roku device is new or old. On a fire stick it plays well for me and never falls. The same goes for my computer, which never crashes. So it's not an antenna or…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Silicon Dust makes it possible

Same product and service as Revain. My first HDHomeRun was so easy to get, install and use that I decided I just got lucky and didn't share it, thinking my situation with OTS stations isn't usually like that (where I live is almost impossible to get CBS 2). . .coincidentally they want to sell you their app. In their case I found a workaround at some point and still only needed it for the NFL) Back to HDHR. So it worked without any problems, a significant simplification of my email traffic and a

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.

Cordcutter Dream fits external components

Years ago, if you wanted to stream OTA TV to every room in your house, you had to unplug your antenna splitter and then run a coaxial cable to every room with your TV. This isn't necessarily a problem if you like running cables through a hot attic and are dealing with a degraded signal as it has been split into 5 channels. It's 2021 and thanks to this handy little box, you don't have to do that anymore. I ran 75 foot coax cable from my attic mounted directional antenna to a 2 way splitter. A…

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Slightly dented
