Make sure your antenna is well positioned remember the box is used as the conduit to your network and the t uners whether it be 2,4 or 8. I tried using it with plex it doesnt work as well as the dedicated app.so getting a $150 plex lifetime pass may be off the table, but then you would be Be to record to your network drive and that is a lifetime subscription as long as plex doesnt dissapear, it's been around for a while, so $35 with a seemingly more stable app for DVR function or $150.that's 4 years I'll have to decide if I really want the feature. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: RefurbishedĮasy to setup, all apps xbox one, android and fire tv, work seamless it would be nice to be able to watch outside the home, but not super important for me at least.ĭVR feature requires $35 subscription one thing that kinda bugs me, my xbox tuner allowed 30 min free. I would buy this again, and recommend it to anyone with similar needs. Installation and setup were a 5-star experience with no hitches, and "plug-n-play" experience. For that reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars in the review. The only downside is that my TVs that are connected with Roku over WiFi seem to have bandwidth issues from time to time and often have to "rebuffer." Oddly, this happens from time to time with my wired devices too, where I would not expect that to happen ever at all. I can see what's on, including future shows, and I can record current or future shows, pause and rewind live TV, and watch one show while I record another. I also really like the TV guide and DVR functions that Plex provided for the HDHomeRun. HDHomeRun integrated nicely with Plex, adding a "Watch Live TV / DVR" function to Plex. I also use this with a home media server that lets me see my media on all my TVs and devices. I really like the way it shows what's on all the channels without having to surf through them all to see what's on. The "HD" app that Silicondust provides is basic an very usable. That is nice because everything is connected without the signal degradation typical of wiring an antenna to many receivers. Right away I was able to watch TV on any of my connected TVs and also on my computers, tablets, and smartphones. I plugged it directly into my home Network using the Ethernet cable. I disconnected my TV from the antenna and connected the HDHomeRun instead. Adding this device was a great upgrade to my home. I canceled U-verse, and started watching OTA programs. Previously I had only one TV with a connection to my antenna, all the others were connected either to U-verse or my home network. I'm pleased with the purchase, installation, and use of the HDHomeRun Connect Duo. Match this with Plex for a polished and useful OTA experience.
