SiliconDust HDHomerun Flex 4K First Look

Let's check out the HDHomerun Flex 4K for streaming OTA TV on your local network. In this video I unbox the device, set it up, and check it out on iOS, Roku, and on my LG TV.

Pc and my nvidia sheild worked the best for me for the silicon dust app. Im getting one cuz i just got the cable card end of service notice from the cable co and since i only record local channels anyway im going ota. I already have the silicon dust network drive amd im not paying $20/mo for there garbage cloud dvr. Plus my promo package ends in a few months amd im not paying $60 for local channels

This box has a lot of potential, but I’ve had numerous problems with this. First is getting ghosted by customer support. Secondly, the audio for the Nextgen channels does not work unless you have a Roku Ultra. Do not buy the Ultra LTE version from Walmart; it will not work. Will also not work with lesser Roku models. Also, the channels that are encrypted are not supported on the HD home run. This is a complete opposite of the Zapperbox. One more thing - the internet connection it needs isn’t wireless.

The one benefit this has over the Zapperbox that you have one tuner and one antenna that you can place anywhere and have over the air television on every TV in your house that has a Roku or a Firestick. I keep mine behind the bed in the upper floor bedroom with an amplified Channel Master flat panel antenna in the window facing most of the towers.

I have one, great idea, worked intermittently and I cut my losses.

If i buy this thing will it automatically give me better signal for my antenna? Cause when i try to plug in an antenna in my room i only get a few channels seems like my signal isn’t good

My local cable company sends local digital OTA stations thru the coax leading to my router. Would this unit pick up those networks if placed in the signal chain?

Why bother buying this if DRM encrypts channels that use Actv 3.0
