The HDHomeRun App and DVR Service

We looked at the current media-PC way to record TV. It requires a fair bit of technical know how, high powered media PCs that need to stay on, and often pages of complicated setup.

Enter the HDHomeRun App. Simply put, it’s the software that works with your playback and network storage devices adding the ability to watch, schedule and record Live TV.

At it’s most basic, viewing Live over the air TV around your home on multiple devices has never been easier or as cost effective than with HDHomeRun tuners and DVR. Equally simple to setup is our full DVR service enabling you to schedule whole series recordings. Our DVR solution allows you to search by category, so why not record the whole series of your kids’ favourite shows and keep them entertained for hours and you can use your NAS drive to record to so they can watch on any compatible smart device around your home. Or why not catch up on your favorite shows or those not to miss ‘must win’ sporting events by setting it to record all the games only your team play.

Expandability and flexibility are key - it can be as simple as a laptop or as expansive as a multi-client, multi-NAS, multi-tuner masterpiece…install the app and you are up and running. Give it a few recording tasks and it goes to work. TV viewing on your terms with HDHomeRun DVR.

    Customers generally like the ability to use the tuner. They say that it's able to retrieve all the available channels, has three tuners, and allows the flexibility to watch your Cable channels on any Android device. The picture quality is fantastic, and the wake from sleep speed is excellent. This box can send HD TV to all three PCs without even breaking a sweat, and can watch three TVs at once no problem. The channels come in perfectly, and are crisp. The box and window media center come up with all the channel names much better for the guide.

    "...3 Tuners to watch live TV and also record at the same time is very convenient...." Read more

    "...This box can record or watch 3 streams at the same time. Time Warner's cable box can only do 2. Need more?..." Read more

    372 customers mention254 positive118 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the ease of installation. Some mention that the installation went completely smoothly, the tech was friendly and helpful, and the guide works great, but others say that the product is glitch-filled and difficult to implement. It comes with a quick-start guide and no detailed instructions, and it's not plug and play ready when you get home with it.

    "...to be on hold for a while, but in my case at least, the tech was friendly and helpful. He was very patient and did a nice job. It does take a while...." Read more

    "...the use of one of the PRIME's three tuners, but in return, I get super-easy setup and beautiful recordings, even when capturing two different shows..." Read more

    "...The other 10% can be frustrating and require lots of effort. Most of the frustration is with the cable company (Time Warner)...." Read more

    "...We use two Harmony 880 remotes, which makes this easy to operate for the family. The Ceton takes the same IR codes as the XBox 360...." Read more

    133 customers mention88 positive45 negative

    Customers are mixed about the video quality of the product. Some mention that it has fantastic picture quality, while others say that it had problems with pixelation and stuttering on some channels. The HomeRun Prime is OK for SD programming but not good for HD programming.

    "...HD channels come through beautifully over a wired connection, but for reasons I cannot fathom, the PRIME only has the bandwidth to send SD signals..." Read more

    "...Picture quality is excellent (full HD if that's what the channel is), and the PAUSE/PLAY/RECORD features work seamlessly...." Read more

    "...Picture QualityMy first issue was with picture quality. I would get lots of macro blocking and weird video studdering...." Read more

    "...This is great for detecting picture quality issues that are related to your CATV wiring...." Read more

    127 customers mention56 positive71 negative

    Customers are mixed about the speed of the tuner. Some mention that it's much faster, and the UIs are all quick. However, others say that the wireless signal is not fast enough, and local channels OTA due to insufficient signal strength. The home network became laggy and slow when using this tuner, and 5 GHz doesn't have great penetration. Customers also had problems with pixelation and stuttering on some channels.

    "...loss that are inherent to wireless mean dropped frames and studdery, jerkey, or macro blocked video from time-to-time...." Read more

    "...better - it doesn't try to show you frames during a skip, and is much faster. The UIs are all quick.-..." Read more

    "...was not able to actually get all local channels OTA due to insufficient signal strength from a couple of local stations...." Read more

    "...Flexibility in terms of where you can watch cable- Fast, easy installationCons:- Simplistic app UI needs some work-..." Read more

    76 customers mention37 positive39 negative

    Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the HDHomeRun PRIME. Some mention that the software is useful and it has an embedded web server. They say it's a great to have wireless cable stream, but it may not work on their home wireless network if they have some speed behind it. It's also a good solution for remote TVs on your LAN, but some say that using the wifi along was not a strong enough connection to stream clear HD content. They also say that the unit always disconnected at some point and that there was too much interference for reliable connections.

    "...show success, this suggests that your HDHomeRun PRIME does not have a good cable connection...." Read more

    "...Speaking of the HDHomeRun's software, there is a useful embedded web server in the HDHomeRun PRIME box that isn't particularly well documented..." Read more

    "...show success, this suggests that your HDHomeRun PRIME does not have a good cable connection...." Read more

    "...3- As other mentioned, the box has its own server...." Read more

    118 customers mention19 positive99 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the coverage of the TV tuner. They mention that HD channels struggle, intermittently forget their subscribed channels, and give a weak signal error. Some HD channels just never work, and the HDHomeRun Prime intermittently "forgets" the subscribed channel. The lack of DRM channels limits their ability to see many stations, and makes channel surfing a hassle.

    "...If you do not receive a channel list, this means the card has not yet received programming information from the cable provider...." Read more

    "...One other thing to know: You can't watch recordings of encrypted channels on another computer...." Read more

    "...there Sundance....After getting everything setup, the PC refused to play the cable content. All channels were 'blacked out'...." Read more

    "...The channels were in the clear. Recently channels started moving around and some simply vanished...." Read more

    Best integration for TV and Computer yet! Smooth...

    Best integration for TV and Computer yet! Smooth...
    Have been using a SD HdHomerun Prime 3-Tuner for about 8years now on my home network and it's Simply the Best Computer/TV integration to be Found!Have tried most all of em, Hauppage,TIVO,Kodi,Plex & more...And now, Amazon FireSticks have a fully functional app HDHomerun for Firesticks & Droid phones so the SD network tuner's to it all CableTv/Ota/DVI all wireless...I run all TV's in the house from the cablecard tuner on the network(both wired and WiFi) - and it works near perfectly and very reliably (easily 98% uptime availability - but does require both solid tech understanding and additional supporting hardware! - Like UPS's on communication and networking gear and either small HTPC computers or laptops for all TV's). But if ya have a good network infrastructure in your home - It's really Sweet!!!WMC (WindowsMediaCenter) on Win7(or above) runs great, has an integrated channel guide(per your zip), total DVR capability and the best total TV/Computer integration I've found yet!But it ain't for the technically faint of heart! (and your cable provider support for the cablecard is marginal at best)I run 3 wired connections for TV in my home office(dual monitor setup), in LivingRoon (with small HTPC), and bedroom (with a small Dell mini tower), plus run TV's in garage and basement from a laptop wirelessly.Setup requires the full alpha soup of DLNA and PlayReady compliant vid cards and hardware but I Lovit!And I've got the best integrated TV/Computer access throughout the complete house house I've found Yet!(Eat your heart out MAC/IUsers - I got it ALL! Plus Power User Computer power and Communications Everywhere! {and a persomal (Synology)NAS Cloud!)
