Unbranded - CONNECT DUAL OTA DVR - Gray/Black

Cut the cord while still enjoying broadcast TV with this SiliconDust HDHomeRun CONNECT Dual tuner. The 1080i definition creates a crisp, high-quality picture, and you can watch shows on up to two TVs at once. The HDHomeRun App, that can be installed on a wide range of smart devices allows you to record and pause live TV.

HDHomeRun Connect is the Best OTA Tuner

on July 6, 2017

Posted by: Scott

Best Buy had this on sale for $79.99, so I finally decided to purchase it after much research. As a cordcutter, I'm always looking for a better way to view TV and save money. This device is worth the price and is very easy to install and setup. I was able to scan 39 crystal clear channels using only a flat digital antenna in a window. I suppose if I had a good roof mounted antenna, I would likely get more channels. This is so much simpler than using a TV tuner. You just open the app on your streaming device and scroll through the channel guide for programs to watch. My family likes this very much which makes my life good. The only thing I do not like is the HDHomeRun app, which has a very poor channel guide. I used the following workaround for my specific streaming devices:
1. For my 4K TV, I installed the Live Channels app for Android TV on my Nvidia Shield. This app is nice because it also picks up streaming channels from several other installed apps, so I'm getting about 170 channels. The channel guide in this app is also very good.
2. For my HDTV, I purchased the Channels app from iTunes and installed it on my Apple TV 4. This app is also very nice with an excellent channel guide.
I haven't setup the DVR functionality yet on either device, but I don't expect any problems. I will connect a 1TB HD to my Nvidia Shield and I will probably use my iCloud drive for the Apple TV 4. So far I am very satisfied with my purchase.
