Posted February 8, 20178 yr comment_1528711 Anyone using one? Just wondering what you think of it and if you have advice.
February 9, 20178 yr comment_1528743 I never could get it to work right - antenna signal was fine direct to the TV, but awful going through this thing.

February 10, 20178 yr comment_1528763 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
February 10, 20178 yr comment_1528781 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...
February 10, 20178 yr Author comment_1528787 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.
February 10, 20178 yr comment_1528788 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.

February 12, 20178 yr comment_1528837 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?
February 12, 20178 yr comment_1528854 i am intrigued in riding myself of the 4 add on boxes im paying $28/mo for... if one of the damn streaming servies would just allow a virtual DVR/on demand of sorts if be rid of this mess already
