and must have gone up there 100 times before I was satisfied (luckily, I never fell off!). I had my wife on the phone looking at the TiVo signal meter, TV signal meter. I'm kind of a perfectionist for better or worse. I spent forever on my roof trying to get all my stations to have almost zero pixelation or audio dropouts. I'm in the city only about seven miles from the towers as the crow flies and have tons of signal strength, but also loads of multipath. You connect it to an antenna, connect to your LAN via an Ethernet cable, run a channel scan, download and install the app wherever you want to watch OTA channels and off you go with free OTA TV.įor more information see the SiliconDust website. This particular unit was made redundant when I bought the 4-tuner model with two ATSC 1.0 and two ATSC 3.0 tuners. I have it installed on computers, phones, tablets, TVs and FireTV streaming devices. The HDHomeRun app for watching live TV is available on multiple devices. This box has two tuners so you can record one show while watching another, record two shows simultaneously or watch two shows on different devices. If you are not using Plex with Unraid, other media servers may also offer HDHomeRun integration or SiliconDust offers their own DVR service for the HDHomeRun for $35 per year. This also allows you to watch Live TV (even remotely if Plex is setup for remote access) via Plex in addition to via the HDHomeRun app. All shows are recorded to an Unraid share. I had it integrated with Plex for channel guide and DVR capabilities for recording OTA programs. I have a simple VHF/UHF bowtie <$50 HD antenna I bought at Lowe's up in the attic and it works great.

Check out antennaweb to see a list of OTA channels in your area and recommended antennas based on distance from your address to the transmitters. Nothing fancy is needed as far as the antenna. The latter requires a SiliconDust DVR subscription to use the USB port. This is model HDHR4-2US (Connect) updated to the latest available firmware and differs from the currently-available HDHR5-2US (Flex) only in that it does not have a USB port for plugging in a USB drive for DVR recordings.

It will receive both SD and HD channels broadcasting in the ATSC 1.0 format. It requires a coax connected antenna for receiving free over-the-air (OTA) broadcasts in your area. I have a SiliconDust HDHomeRun Connect dual tuner box for sale.

I will accept the $60 payment via Venmo, PayPal (friends and family) or the Square Cash app. I will ship this free to a Continental US address.
