Thank TripleM. Don't forget, the coax plays a big role in the number and quality of channels this box can pick up too... almost as important as the antenna.
Every so often you show a device or app that has apparently been around for a while that I have never seen. Great video TripleM, I really like this. I will definitely be looking to purchase a couple of them this weekend. I appreciate you
I have been using the quad unit and the recorder quad version for quite a while now and they are two of the best things I have done since I cut the cord. I use them with my Plex server (50TB's). I never have to sit through a program and commercials. Forgot to mention that one of my units it capable to receive the new 3.0 OTA. Unfortunately Boise Idaho so far does not have any 3.0 OTA stations but I am ready when they are available.
I'm really impressed with the dual tuner Zapperbox DVR. It might cost a little more, but the customer support is outstanding! I was having trouble with a couple NextGen channels being locked , so within days they wrote a software update to fix the problem. Now I can watch or record all the channels in Minneapolis.
Man, I put a simple TV antenna on my window and hooked this up. I got so many channels! But I don't care for sports and there is hardly any good shows on these days, especially on CW. I'll never admit regretting this thing, though lol I like having it integrated to my Jellyfin server.
The HDHomerun has a lot of potential, but I’ve had numerous problems with this. First is getting ghosted by customer support. Secondly, the audio for the Nextgen channels does not work unless you have a Roku Ultra. Do not buy the Ultra LTE version from Walmart; it will not work. Will also not work with lesser Roku models. Also, the channels that are encrypted are not supported on the HD home run. This is a complete opposite of the Zapperbox. One more thing - the internet connection it needs isn’t wireless. The one benefit this has over the Zapperbox that you have one tuner and one antenna that you can place anywhere and have over the air television on every TV in your house that has a Roku or a Firestick. I keep mine behind the bed in the upper floor bedroom with an amplified Channel Master flat panel antenna in the window facing most of the towers.
I would appreciate some clarification. The Duo is dual tuners but only has one coax connector? How would one connect a second antenna? Using a two-to-one connector would just have the two signals stepping over the other, no?
I’m rather new to this and learning. I think just one antenna RF input, indeed, then the two tuners do their thing and put out two signals to the router network system for two TVs or tablets, etc., to pick up.
Great video topic! I can never get sound to work reliably through their Roku app on Samsung TVs. Very disappointing. I wish there was a competitor available with working sound.
Thank You for the video. Does this support WIFI like the Tablo does? I am looking for a device I can use on my Apple TV. The Tablo does not work with Apple TV
the premium tv service is defunct. Still good if you have good access to OTA channels, you can even use their dvr service with either their servio device or a raspberry pi.
I've been searching around the web for the best part of today, and can't seem to find country/region tuning option. Is it safe to assume therefor that this device doesn't have a country/region setting in setup menu ?
Any antenna will do. Even the old one you used 20 years ago if it is still intact. There is no such thing as an HD antenna. Its a marketing scam. An antenna made of coat hangers cut to the correct length will work.
Assuming the signal is good enough. Mine is attached to my glass slider and is good most of the time, but not all the time, depending on whether, etc. When you read antenna reviews, it mostly comes down to people who are fortunate to have good signal who rave about the their antenna and those that have poor signal who say that the antenna is worthless
Sent mine back, could not discover ATSC 3.0 channels thru my ROKU's. On PC discovered 7 ATSC 3.0 channels, Win 10 needs app to play? Went to HDhomerun support, no help!
My question for you serious if I use a VPN and change it to American will it bring out all the American channels or will I be stuck with Canadian channels even with a VPN
The network connection isn’t for receiving the channels. The network connection allows you stream the channels received over-the-air, to the devices connected to your network, in your home. So the answer to your question is no, a VPN won’t help you get American channels. The channels aren’t received over the internet, they’re received with the antennae attached to the device.
I have the quad-HD tuner version, and I will probably be getting the Prime in order to replace the Tivo Bolt I just retired. The HDHomerun DVR is much more reliable and stable than either SageTV or NextPVR ever were, but they seriously need to do something about that program guide. The design is criminally bad. I was going to get the 4K tuner, but it looks like nobody's going to be making an AC-4 codec for it, so I won't be able to edit shows for burning to Blu-Ray, not to mention they keep talking about putting DRM on ATSC 3.0...
Your review neglects to mention than the HDhomerun does not support encryption (DRM), therefore, it is useless if purchased with the idea you will receive nexgen 3.0 broadcasts. Most nexgen 3.0 channels are now encrypted. And. if you are fortunate to be in a market where the channels are not encrypted, you will have no audio because this unit does not support the new audio format (unless you use their App for cloud service audio) But wait, there is no app for Samsung TVs' At least be upfront, it is not compatible with Samsung TVs and it is not certified to receive encrypted 3.0 channels therefore useless as a nexgen 3.0 4k tuner.
HD Homerun only works if you live in an area that has access to OTA signals. I live 120 miles from the closest city, so I would not be able to use something like this, since TV signals will not reach that far.
I watch a bunch of tech, how to, related RUclips. So I think I have an edge when rating good, bad and exceptional. ⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠ I subscribed!♥ Wakodahatchee Chris

I agree. I've been using it for years.
Liked your video. Can you send me link of antenna needed?

I'm surprised that Miami just got some stations recently online for 3.0, but the content is still not in 4K yet. 😕

HDHomeRun is the king of ota tuners

The Walmart Onn Google TV device works great with Tablo.
@@ericg7490Better thank a FireStick 4K?
@@MoisesSimana I think the same. I have a Firestick 4K Max. Onn device is cheaper.
I have the 4 tuner version which works well with Plex.
How does it work with the Google dongle?
Can I connect thos device to my direct tv box cable ? My intention is to stream live tv in all my devices connected to my network
How do you save a channel to favorites
Nice video, can I use this on my main TV?.
the premium tv service is defunct. Still good if you have good access to OTA channels, you can even use their dvr service with either their servio device or a raspberry pi.
is there a subscription fee?
I guess HD Homerun has some advantages over just hooking an antenna to your TV.
same thing as the TABLO?
I've been searching around the web for the best part of today, and can't seem to find country/region tuning option. Is it safe to assume therefor that this device doesn't have a country/region setting in setup menu ?
I just ordered one to go with myA1 antenna from Televes.
How’s it going?
@@Triple_M I have really weak signals.
How would i be able to use this on a samsung Tv? And how did you get Univision? I am located in NYC and cant seem to find it
How can I use this as a DVR with Plex and Nvidia Shield?
You don’t need an HD antenna you can use any antenna
There is no such thing as an HD antenna. There are VHF antennas and UHF antennas and combo antennas.
Can you use Amazon fire tv cube and firstick 4k MAX with this device?
Any antenna will do. Even the old one you used 20 years ago if it is still intact. There is no such thing as an HD antenna. Its a marketing scam. An antenna made of coat hangers cut to the correct length will work.

Sent mine back, could not discover ATSC 3.0 channels thru my ROKU's. On PC discovered 7 ATSC 3.0 channels, Win 10 needs app to play? Went to HDhomerun support, no help!
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT
Don’t see a HD antenna mentioned
Is it just me or did you not put the links in the description??
Sorry, I’ll have to update this.
