So, all you need is an antenna and a device to capture the content to - I'm using a Plex server. The setup of this tuner was SO easy. It's amazing. It auto detected everything and I was up and recording content within 3 minutes. It's extremely easy to use and the reliability/quality has been wonderful. Highly recommended.

Great device for watching OTA on any network device. The DVR feature will cost you either through HDHomeRun or if you pay for premium Plex. Plex works great but I use it for more than just DVR.

Got this on sale and I am satisfied. I get local broadcasts fine, within the reach of the antenna, and paired it with the Plex Media Server. Now I can view local media broadcasts and recorded broadcasts throughout the house, or on my phone or tablet away from home, with the one antenna in my bedroom.

This is perfect and necessary for cord cutters. Unfortunately it did not work out for me as I could not get a lot of local channnels with an antenna. Instead I bought the HDHR Prime and used a cable cord.

We opted to get this device over buying another TV for our home office/gym. The room where the HDHomerun is set is has the best OTA access and has our AC Wi-Fi router, so it's an ideal setup. Set up was easy and we get lots of channels in HD for free!

I bought this after finally coming to terms with cutting my cable TV subscription. I am now down to Internet only, and this device coupled with an existing Plex system provides me with all the TV I need to watch (other than Netflix and Amazon Prime). I can receive Over the Air TV anywhere using my smartphone as a client or I can use Plex on my smart TV to do the same.

The HomeRun has become my answer to the problem with the TV cable bill getting too high. I transitioned to Roku sticks, but the apps did not consistedly provide local channels/news. With HomeRun I get local channels and when we extended the antenna further into the attic, we get so much more. Great results for a small investment.

Now I wish I had gotten the 4-tuner model because this works so well. It integrates flawlessly with Windows Media Center and works better than a TiVo.
I use a couple of tools (MP4 Splitter and WinX HD Video Converter) to strip out the commercials and I now watch my shows whenever I want without commercial interruption.
My only regret is not buying the 4-tuner model, and not doing this a long time ago.

The good news is it's always possible to add tuners as you go. Grab another DUO, and you'll have 4 total tuners. Grab a QUATRO and you'll have 6 tuners. As far as your DVR is concerned, it's like you always just have one expanding device. Easy as pie!

I use apps for Windows 10, Android 7.0 TV and Phone, Apple TVOS and iPhone/iPad IOS and all have found the tuners and configured without any issues. Very impressed, so much so that I am going to install another HDHomeRun Connect in order to record even more OTA programming.

What can I say that others haven't already said? It simply works and is very easy to setup. Once connected to a good antenna and you go through the steps of scanning for channels, you are all set to stream live TV.

Plex is a 3rd party vendor offering their own branded software. While our tuners work with their solution and many consumers are happy, the limitation you mentioned is not affiliated with the HDHomeRun tuners themselves in which you are reviewing here

I bought this hdhomerun to use with Plex to record our favorite over the air tv shows because our PlayStation Vue subscription dropped some of the local programming such as NBC. The HDhomeRun was so east to hook up and pair to Plex. Everything works awesome and records our shoes with no issues using Plex and also allows us to watch over the air tv anywhere!

That's awesome to hear! Also, if you are a Vue user, feel free to take a look at our new HDHomeRun Premium TV, which allows you to supplement your Over The Air lineup with streaming cable TV channels. You might be able to get everything you watch all in one place! https://www.silicondust.com/premium-tv/

Connect this up with an OTA antenna like the clearstream and you get broadcast TV over wifi to any device in your house including your mobile phone and tablets. I use an app called channels which gives you a tv-like guide but there are free alternatives that are close. Definitely worth the purchase to fill in the gaps if you have cut the cord.
