Silicondust hdhomerun prime tv tuner manual

The big change with this new model is that it now includes a USB port on the back that you can optionally connect an external hard drive to if you want it to double as a DVR.

If ATSC 3. This device has the same 4 tuners 2x ATSC 3. This is exactly what I said about the Scribe,sort of. I said it would be a lot better if it had a USB port for extra storage.

This is better, because if you can get by with 2 tuners the The Flex is limited to 4 streams I think he said. I have 3. Learn more. Woot orders Amazon Prime membership required.

I got one of these when they came out back in - it was nice to have a tuner that could use a cable card to view encrypted video on other devices other than a TV. Combined with programs like Plex, it can create a DVR type of environment. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned.

Awesome product. I'm not sure about other providers but Comcast seems bad about cablecard support. The first 4 cable cards I got did not work and it was not the hdhomerun.

The Cablecards came from a Comcast office. After 2 bad cards I bought a second hdhomerun just to be sure. But the two new cards and the 2 hdhomeruns would not work. I got cards 5 and 6. When I put the 5th card in, it worked. The 6th did not. So I exchanged that one and the 7th worked. Good thing too because they had no more in stock they were going to have to order one.

Thank goodness that one worked. I would think Comcast should be checking their cards, but they have no cablecard devices to check them in. I'm sure Comcast has to support cablecards by law or something, because they sure don't like supporting them. The smartphone version of HDHomeRun uses the same formatting as larger-screen versions, which means all the buttons are teeny. Plex and Emby both offer more polished interfaces, broader device support, out-of-home streaming, and a slew of other media center features.

The former can even use an Nvidia Shield TV as the recording engine.
