Review of the HDHomeRun Digital TV Tuner: Pros & Cons, is it worth it?

Need a box for a camper, doses this need an internet connection or just a network with DHCP?

Have 4 tuner 4k model. Picture looks great through Plex. When I use there app picture not so good and choppy soap effect. Can’t figure out what’s wrong. Using on my oleds. Is there hidden settings somewhere or will paid sub make picture on home run app better. Thank you

3 min in and decided this is not for me. accidentality broke my Hauppauge 4 Tuner and they don't sell them anymore. UGHHH ....they're out everywhere. This Homerum looks too messy.

If you have this at your home and go on vacation, can you watch your antenna channels just like you are at home.

I have been using HDHomeRun Tuners for years and am not happy with the current generation. There have been two generations and am sad to say that the new generation of turner do not last more than a year or so. My current configuration uses three antennas and 3 HDHomeRun Tuners. The first two Dual (previous generation) receiver were purchased in 2013 and are still running. Unfortunately I have gave one away. Starting in 2021 5 FLEX Duo have been purchased and 3 have broke in a little over a year after purchase. The bottoms become very hot and then go dead. Have you experience this?

I was hoping to see how fast channel switching is but you failed to illustrate that and stuck with one channel for the majority of this review.

I Can Get Yalls Orlamdo Channels From Savannah On My HD Homerun Receiver With My Televes 149884. From Mark.

my box kept loosing access had to return mine had channels lost channels connecticut market

how about yours what about DRM CONTENT ???

q1)can this box be connected to a Network Switch and several computers can have access to it at a giving time? q2)the remote he is using is that from the TV or the homerun box?

Are you paying a subscription fee to see any of that TV guide info?

wasted time and money both zapper box and HD home run both had issues

1 zappwr box no dvr till 6 months
HD home run crashes needs to be redesigned in sameway as zapperbox

returned both got refunded

I want to see an OTA antenna that you connect to your TV with wifi or Bluetooth as a device that is controllable/programmable with an app. The antenna would be battery/solar powered so that you have maximum location flexibility for mounting it. Somehow shoot a wireless signal from an outdoor antenna to a receiver near the TV and connect via coaxial. Am I dreaming or is there something like that?

Is there a membership fee?

Have been using HD Home Run Device for 4 years now , generally through my lifetime Plex server and a Roku app. Thinking about trying the 4K model. I use my PC to store and deliver my recordings.

Can you use this tuner ONLY for it's recording function with still using an internet connection (instead of antenna) and Firestick with it's apps?

I bought one a couple of months ago. I have the flex duo which doesn’t have 4k. I’m pleased with it. I have it integrated with Plex and it was just a couple of mouse clicks.

Can the DVR function work with IPTV services?

How many turners is it? I need to be able to record 2 channels and watch another channel at the same time. Can you merge your Pluto, Freevee etc into the OTA TV guild?

Dude, not fair to pose with the adorable kitty for your thumbnails, but not featuring the furbaby on the videos!! So that’s one thing I’d love to see 😂😂

Can you hook this device up to a projector 🤔

You can get a traditional guide if you go to settings and turn off slice view guide

Is there a traditional or normal text type of a guide or does the HDHomerun only have the hard to see guide on the right side of the screen?

Your video showed it in operation but failed to really explain its pros and cons.
Benefits;

Very sensitive tuner.
A total WIRELESS IP solution for watching TV, including all of your mobile devices meaning you don’t have to worry about running coax, splitters (or distribution amps to maintain your signal.) Every TV or mobile device or computer get’s the same signal level available from your antenna.  All you do is plug it into your router and attach an antenna and install their app!
With a LOW subscription fee you can ALSO record your favorite programs and have a full 14 day TV Guide vs. the 24hr guide that comes free with it.
Your recordings (with subscription only) are stored on your OWN drive, not a cloud. Expand it as much as you want. It also interfaces with a NAS for additional storage.
Interfaces directly with PLEX as its tuner.  I use it with PLEX.
Can be used with a signal meter app for optimizing your antenna. (Iphone only)
Can be combined with additional HDhomerun devices to add available tuners to your home if you have a large family.
Shows up as an available wireless source on many Smart TV’s without using an app.
Negatives;

No “android” signal level app  (If you can find the OLD HDhomerun signal app (now discontinued) it WILL work fine on most of your equipment.  An optimum antenna signal for recording is absolutely necessary, therefore a signal app should be included. The company REALLY needs to bring back the old android app. 
Requires an optimum wireless network.  And this is true for delivering ANY HD video over your network regardless of what IP video distribution system you decide to use.  Highly suggest upgrading your wireless network (new router OR simply add on a CAT 6 extender) for optimum results.
Some models, including their current premium model will not do file rendering (compression to reduce file sizes). This is a HUGE negative IMO.  This option should be included in all of their devices to help reduce required disk storage.
No app for some of the most popular TV’s on the market.  Some smart TV’s will show the device as a network source and allow you to select channels, but it’s a bare bones interface.  Nothing polished, like the use of their app.
Summary-
Overall, HDhomerun provides WIRELESS TV from your antenna to all of your equipment vs. wiring your whole home with coax, splitters and amps. IF your reception is good and your wireless network supports HD video well, and you can load their app on your desired device, you’ll love it!  If your TV doesn’t have an HD app available, Roku’s and most inexpensive USB dongles on the market have the app available and work just fine.  
It’s amazing to me that premium TV’s on the market today don’t come with a similar, detachable Tuner/Wireless IP solution for an antenna, which allows you to place the tuner/antenna somewhere else in your home, like your attic, and have 40 or more stations automatically appear wirelessly on the TV without having to run coax or pay for cable!  This technology comes close to that solution and is clearly ahead of most TV’s on the market today for consumers who expect local channels without subscribing to cable.
My model does get (4) ATSC 3.0 signals but these signals will push more video through your network, so if I have a strong WIFI signal, they come in fine, vs. a marginal signal where they may not.  I can’t overemphasize the fact that you NEED to have a fast wireless network.   If you’re still using that bargain router you bought 4 years ago, or a pair of rabbit ears for your antenna, you may not get the same great experience I’ve enjoyed.  I highly recommend this product.
If I've submitted any inaccuracies, please let me know.

New subscriber here! I was able to experience the launch of ATSC 3.0 in my home market (Kansas City, MO) using an HDHomerun 4K. Kansas City, MO, has 2 TV stations (KMCI & KSMO) broadcasting the ATSC 3.0 signals of WDAF 4 (Fox), KCTV 5 (CBS), KMBC 9 (ABC), KCPT 19 (PBS), KCWE 29 (The CW), KMCI 38 (IND), KSHB 41 (NBC) & KSMO 62 (My Network TV), most of which broadcast in 1080p (WDAF broadcasts in 720p.).

The overlay of the HDHomeRun is slightly different depending on the device that the app is being used on...My roommate collects streaming devices and each one is a bit different in how it runs it.

hello , i have a doubt , if i upgrade to a 3.0 atsc turner i will have a better reception of the 1.0 atsc signal

I can’t get support for HDHomeRun to call me back to resolve problems with my unit. Tons of emails went ignored except for one, where they responded and asked for a phone number to call me, apologized ,and took responsibility for not reaching back out. So, I gave them my phone number and never heard from them.

Buyer beware!

“Bad sound makes good video look bad.”

Nobody broadcasts in 4K. At most you will get 1080p if you have the Flex Atsc 3.0

Great review, can you record to the external hard drive for free, I heard they have some type for subscription service you have to sign up to

After the parody games.

Before the new TV.
