  • Works with PLEX DVR
PLEX DVR (beta) has just been released to Plex Pass Members There are only two 'approved' devices at this point, and this is one of them - which is why I bought it. The PLEX DVR software allows you to schedule recordings on your PLEX Server. Once you setup the DVR in Plex (it was really easy to do - google 'Plex DVR') PLEX will download the 'programming guide' info for the channels that you get. Then it is just a matter of clicking on the show and setting up the recording options for it Note - I am using this with an Over the Air Antenna. I am in S Cal and I can get about 140 digital channels from the Los Angeles area, about 15 are the ones that I want to watch - main channels like ABS, CBS, etc I only got this working this morning but so far I have been very pleased. It was very easy to add to my existing Plex Media Server and I am really surprised how the picture quality it is. I am getting ready to 'cut the cord' in another 6 months or so when my Dish subscription ends out, and this looks like a pretty good way to go - especially if you are already a PLEX user Edit to add - someone asked if this would record two channels at the same time. I noticed this morning that I had it set to record some kids shows in PLEX and sure enough it is recording these two channels at the same time. Also, I was very pleased with the "Gracenote TV Guide" that PLEX uses. For example, I saw the "Commander in Chief" debate was on tonight. I went into Plex and started typing Commander in the search bar, an sure enough it pulled up the listing and I just clicked on it to set up a recording. photo added to show the two programs recording at same time ... show more

  • Poor... more competition would remedy tecnological flaws with these devices.
Not happy with this product. No registration system so the warranty information is not clear, (they use an online check system that failed in my case. The warranty check failed probably because of technical issues with the product). That in itself was a red flag for me. Installation instructions for a simple antenna system via network is terrible, (two steps: plug in antenna then go to their website, and then it's all automated online). Strangely, following the installation instructions one is taken to the site which tries to sell you a service. The software is horribly buggy. And this was just a simple antenna, local channels via home network set-up. Downloaded the app for an Amazon Fire-stick and it recognized the device but it produced an error code: Device unreachable. I would rate this product a half star if I could. It simply does not work right. In my opinion, it's not worth all the software installation headaches one has to go through trying to make it function. ... show more

  • All tuners are being used! Can't watch TV anymore!!
It worked fine for a few months, then one tv at a time it started to get the error "all tuners are being used", that is not the case. No tuners are being used and I still get the error.. now I can not watch on any TV!!!

  • Loved it for 2 months. Now hate it
It worked perfectly for 2 months, then “no servers found” was the constant error even though it is hard wired to my router. I’ve spent a great deal of time trying to get to the bottom of the problem to no avail. I’ll keep trying and revise this review if I can resolve the issue. Of course, it’s too late to return it or I definitely would. ... show more

  • You really need two of these to be happy
I've been a cord cutter since 2014. I've used a tivo OTA box as my DVR for most of that time. It's a great 1 TV solution. I've been looking for a whole house DVR solution but most of the available options had less than stellar reviews. When i heard about the Silicon dust HD Homerun tuners I was interested because they offered flexibility in how they could be used. If you want to put TV in different rooms of your house but can't run coax cables to where you want the TV, this could be a good solution. Connect this to your antenna and network and all you need to do is add a compatible streaming device to the TV and you can watch whatever is available over the air. The program guide is very inexpensive and reasonably functional. If you want DVR capability, you have a couple of options. The best options are adding a NAS storage device or using an existing computer as your DVR storage device. I originally intended to use this with a linux desktop computer as my DVR. I had a lot of trouble with the Linux version of the software. I reinstalled Windows 10 on that computer and that worked much better for me. I had a number of crashes and malfunctions that I first blamed on the HD homerun device. After experimenting I found the problems had more to do with the Fire TV stick app for this than with the hardware itself. I purchased a pre-owned one of these that I could experiment with. This is only a two tuner device. For TV watching that was fine for me because there are only two of us in the house. When I added the DVR capability, it didn't take long to realize that two tuners was not enough. I added the second one (One of the great things about these is that you can use multiple homerun boxes together pretty much seamlessly). With 4 tuners now, I'm very happy with the setup. You do need to know that this is not a simple plug and play device. You need to have a little bit of willingness to tinker with options for your set up. You will also need other hardware to make this work. At a minimum, you need an antenna and a wireless router, and a compatible streaming box. FireTV stick works. Roku does not work at all with this. Once it's set up, you can access it on any of your TV's by adding another streaming device. It offers the most flexibility you'll find with a whole house dvr setup, but it requires a little work. I'm happy with mine. ... show more
