Reviews of Channels for HDHomeRun!

Amazing front end for HDHomerun

Tremendous app, utilizes the HDHomerun more efficiently by allowing multiple users to watch the same channel while only using 1 tuner. Better video quality than the regular HDhomerun app, and the amazing PNP that allows for background audio while locked, a feature so good I bought another HDHomerun for my workplace.
