SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex Duo 2 x ATSC Tuners - HDFX-2US

The interface in Plex is the best, as well as the DVR functionality. This is a huge upgrade compared to There's no doubt this tuner is worth the price.

Previously, I had an old tv tuner that I could use on my Mac, but could not justify the cost of updating the software to get it to work once more. Setup was incredibly quick and simple for this HDHomeRun. Your router will be able to find the device, and their various apps will work with it. The configuration is not configured. Though I wish the mac desktop software had a slight better user interface, it still does its job and lets me watch shows while I work without any glitches. I am very happy to be back to watching shows while I work These devices don't seem to be as popular as they should be. As I was able to set this up in another room where my router is, I only need to have one TV antenna to receive great reception and can simply use the app on my smart TV The TVs remained antenna-free, so I wasn't bothered by any antennas sticking out. I would highly recommend this product.

We watch TV a few times a week at most, so paying $75/mo for a bunch of channels we didn't watch wasn't worth it. In under two years, I've also tried streaming services (like YoutubeTV) that went up significantly from $40 when I signed up to $65 by the time I cancelled. Content providers will continue to raise fees because they are able to do so (whether they are streaming services or cable companies). It may be necessary to research alternatives if you watch a lot of news channels (FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, etc. ), or if you watch a lot of sports because you aren't going to get all those channels You could also watch Over the Air channels if you're like me, if you don't mind Netflix, Disney +, Amazon Prime, etc. During the fall, I may pick up ESPN+ in order to watch some college football, since it's only $7 a month right now, and can be cancelled at any time. The HDHomerun seemed to work with my Apple TV devices, but I wasn't sure how well it would integrate with my Apple TV. I know a lot of people with HDHomeruns who also run Plex on separate servers. In the past few weeks, HDHomerun has released an Apple TV app, and I'm impressed with the results. Also, I installed apps for my Mac, iPhone, and Windows machines, and they all tuned in local channels very well as well. I would like to point out A used AirTV 2 I had found for sale was a "deal" before I purchased the HDHomerun. Although after using the device it was bricked since an email address was still associated with it. I called tech support and requested that the email address be removed, but they could not help me. (This is also a long story - Despite my best efforts, I didn't succeed in using the AirTV 2, so I bought HDHomerun instead). It is time I had purchased this device a long time ago after purchasing it. Here are a few of my favorite features of I.
1. It works great out of the box for watching live channels. Using my phone, I downloaded the app, plugged in my antenna, power and ethernet cord, and then I found the best place to plug them in. There is no TV near the spot where my antenna is installed). It started streaming my shows just as soon as I put in my login information. There are about 30 channels that I receive, and all of them are crystal clear. The towers can be as far away as 30 miles. The RCA square flat antenna I am using is located on the second floor with an amplifier. 2.

(Unlike Air TV 2 and Sling TV, this device is not tethered to an app). Also, unlike AirTV 2, it does not require an account or a subscription, and it does not require you to provide an email address. 3

It is possible to do DVR with a variety of options. You will have to setup whatever method you use, so there's both a good and a bad side to this. The current investment requirements for all of these are very high. Use your laptop or computer to record shows (pause, fast forward, etc. ) or use an external hard drive (the easiest, allows you to use the HDHomerun app), or a NAS (I have the The fourth point. In order to use HDHomerun App for DVR functionality, you are not required to install it. Additionally, you can use Plex or Channels Plus (which is really cool, but also the most expensive option) and there are probably other ways to do this. With any DVR, you will have to pay for guide update service (monthly, annually, or as an option if you go with Plex) whether you choose a monthly, annual, or one-time option. When it comes to watching shows I am interested in, I have found that many of them (such as shows on the CW) have free apps that you can download and watch independent shows. The DVR functionality is not currently in use but I can add it later if I want.

The company wants to sell you its app, which they offer for free. As for NFL, I eventually found a workaround and found they were only needed for football anyway) So back I ordered another in the middle of Prime Madness without hesitation as soon as the previous HDR fried, I think, the inner workings of the HDR. It worked without a hitch, major simplification of my electronic traffic and worked without any problem. I got it from them they reset the i[ om I'll be on my way in ten minutes. The new bad weather has arrived just in time. In this review, I am taking a longer route to increase my credit rating as much as possible. The case used to be the same with a lot of online merchants when it came to great products and great prices.

It is more polished than the old model. You can play the content with VLC by pasting the link Let's get started. The interface of the web is basic, no show info is provided. This would not be found by older models' apps In case one has many devices, it is difficult to find the IP address unless one sets the router to assign it a permanent IP address. As all television stations are located more than 30 miles away, an outdoor antenna is useful & An amp with a 10dB sensitivity. An amp with a 20db gain caused the channels to be lost. An UHF station within 60 miles has mixed results The only way to block VHF at 30 miles and beyond was to use a big UHF antenna coupled with a VHF/UHF splitter An amp with a 20db gain is best. If you're interested in VHF, you can get two tuners or a switch.

The system I was setting up for the old Microsoft Media Center had to receive a TV signal. An antenna was installed in the attic with a SiliconDust box connected. It is now possible to record again in the media center! The setup was very simple. I added guides to the media center with EPG123 and Schedules Direct. Also, I can view local television on Roku devices, laptops, and mobile devices in.

I didn't have any trouble with this. It was very easy to find my device using the URL provided in the instructions and my antenna attached. I also found the setup to be very simple. I wish that I had the one with four tuners but now's not the best time to buy one.
