SiliconDust HDHomeRun HDHR5-4US Connect Quatro 4 Channel Tuner,Black

ordered the four tuner version even though I couldn't use more than two tuners, but I thought it'd be nice to have the extra 2 tuners in case I wanted to watch on the phone or add another television to In order to get the most out of this device, I highly recommend installing an external antenna. My first step was to use one of the flat antennas purchased from Amazon (not powered). This box has a good tuner, but the reception can be an issue when the signal is weak. Your screen will freeze and pixelate if you use the cheap antenna.
I recently got The Netgear X6S from Costco (this is the router to get, it's half off at the moment if you need one)
Lastly, I got FireTv sticks to use This is very important, if you intend to stream via Firesticks, you have to buy the latest Firestick 4K model. I am not talking about the cube, not about the cheaper 1080p stick, but about the 4K stick that is currently for sale. Due to the fact that the 4K stick is the only one that does not display interlacing. There are other sticks that exhibit interlacing and are slow as well. * * * * You need a good roof antenna, a powerful router, and a 4K stick to get the best results, anything less might not work.

I have updated It has been almost a year since we have reduced our rating from 4 to 3 because . . . In our case, it was used to set up an antenna on top of the roof. In the event of disturbance in the channel signal (from trees, planes, clouds, weather, etc. ), the picture will appear "shaky" and this unit struggles to stabilize it. There are times when the picture freezes and stops working. A recording suffers from audio stuttering when you jump 30 seconds ahead, and rewinding 10 seconds will also result in that. As we have contacted the company, the response to problems is hit and miss, or perhaps the company does not have enough staff to handle these tasks. We are having problems with this (have had problems for months, as it used to work for a while, but then got worse) but they are most often intermittent This is a mousetrap that's better than the one we have now. Please see the text below for the original review I've had both my series 1 and series 2 TIVOs for almost 20 years, and they It was time to get a start on 2018 so I turned to the internet and found Our Connect DUO 2-h has been operated only from the rooftop antenna (we cut the cable years ago) With the tuner, I was finally able to record shows in high definition and use a sharp image instead of analog. I was able to easily hook up the unit after it arrived and was quickly installed. Ethernet wires, which are recommended over Wi-Fi. A lot of attention should be paid to the applications. This is all you need to know After the unit is installed on your computer (in our case, a PC) and your set is discovered, you can use it The DVR software can be downloaded by clicking on "up". If you opt for a $35 a year DVR Electronic Programming Guide fee, you'll get great visuals and details on shows and search features (and It can be used with multiple HDHomeRun units at the same time). The "discover" feature also allows you to find new shows. you are unable to locate a show in the search or guide, you can search for it to locate it. 3) When you are setting up DVR software and you are asked to select storage of programming, browse to the previously installed external hard drive and make the Having an external hard drive set up as NAS is optional if you are not using a NAS drive. Click Finish if you are not using an NAS drive. An external drive has been identified as a storage source by our unit, which has started using it. Please take note The instructions for using the DVR services, including recording functions and available options, are rather scant if available at all at the time of this review. Despite the fact that there are almost unlimited questions you could ask in the website tutorials, some of them are not addressed in full. *Easy to install**Over the air signals loaded onto the device are stronger than those on the original over-the-air decoder box**HD-quality viewing on your TV**NO )*Weekly shows are recorded on *)* CONS No remote. )

As stated above, we purchased the equipment and everything described in this listing, and we weren't compensated in any way for our honest reviews.

This program may work with PCs, but the setup instructions are inadequate. In addition to the $35 annual fee HDhomerun wants for their DVR service, many of the apps needed to connect to Roku's TV guide require a second subscription for a third party site in addition to the $35 annual fee HDhomerun wants for their DVR service. A separate subscription to each of 2 publications annually Using three different companies for one product is more expensive and more complicated — you should simply buy a TiVo. Furthermore, there are some reviews that state TIVO works with cable, nothing could be further from the truth. An OTA antenna is the only device that requires this. In order to know how it works, I am testing the TABLO 4 A tuner for OTA antennas (also for OTA Even though I have had issues with the TABLO, I definitely will not be keeping this Quatro device. If the TABLO fails to work out, I will switch to TiVO.

This is working perfectly so far. I'm using Plex because I have a lifetime pass and it's better than the Homerun app that isn't available on the I found it to be much smaller than I had expected. In addition to replacing my Tablo, which was costing me $5 a month, I've also installed a new router.

The HDHomeRun was my first choice. The device has four magnetic turners, as well as an app that enables it to be used as a DVR and as a live television tracker. There is a fee for DVR service, but if you pay for Plex Pass like I did then I am using it as I paid for a lifetime. This is not to say that the silicon dust DVR service is bad as I do not use them as I already have When you subscribe to DirecTV and want four Turners, you must pay extra In the same vein as For Turner, this amounts to $600 per month. You'll get a high bill because of it. There are restrictions on the DirecTV app as well. That's not the case with HDHomeRun. I can use the app on any device, no matter how big or small. Approximately 180 dollars was being paid by me. We just got tired of their price hikes and didn't want to pay $600 for their top tier package. I found HDHomeRun to be very enjoyable to use and it was quite The only thing you need to get started is an antenna. There is nothing fancy about the app, but it is very basic and easy to use. The best thing I could have done was cut the cord with this. I recommend it to anyone thinking of doing the same.
