Cat Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I never could get it to work right - antenna signal was fine direct to the TV, but awful going through this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincybengalz Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I have been using the HD Homerun Prime with a cable card for years. Not sure if that was the HDHomeRun you were asking about but it works better than cable boxes. I use a prime with a comcast cable card and Xbox Ones. Works fantastic while sticking it to the man!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I ended up building a small media computer with WinTv - antenna goes directly into the machine and has a DVR - not nearly as convenient as say, DirecTv has - but it works. You just have to stay on top of if a program changes times / days - otherwise you end up with 4 episodes of Superstore instead of The Blacklist...

|Montana Bengal| Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I use Plex at home as a media server and they have a 'plex dvr' feature that should work well. Ultimately I have to run an antenna up into the attic - so I've got a little extra work to do. From what I have read - the HD Homerun Prime requires a cable subscription to work and the Extend versions doesn't. There is another more basic version...but I can't remember at the moment why I wasn't considering that. I had considered picking up a Tablo, but if I am going to spend the money I want to make sure it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 On your antenna- I ordered one from this place - http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/ It works great, and they have a ton of information on there for research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yep - I got this one - http://dennysantennaservice.com/ez_hd_tv_Antenna.html Check and see how far you are from the broadcast towers, and that your attic doesn't have that stuff that can block signals, I can't remember what it's called - radiant barrier?
