Great way to cut the cord!

Hardware and app are excellent. We use with iPads and Roku and not a hitch. UI is well done and it’s easy to record, playback, and manage recordings. Image quality is better than streaming too. I paired a FLEX 4k with an SSD, wired connection to router (no wifi hops between the FLEX and router), and playback is smooth. Got strong signal for it to work with. All but a handful of channels are at 100% everything, and those that aren’t are no lower than 90%. Zero complaints. Lots of kudos.

Not too good

The recording, pause, play, etc is very unstable and clunky. You cannot use your antenna when there is no internet, which is exactly why I installed the antenna. A most disappointing app. Ok in a pinch to watch local stuff.

Love Volume is seperate but no Subtitles still

Essential but hardly works

HDHomeRun has been part of my home setup for years, it’s great that I can record shows and have a library. But it’s frustrating because the app repeatedly can’t find the tuner on the local network. Often met with the Retry, Quit, Communication Error, Fail. Try another iPhone or Mac and it might work. What is the app doing that it can’t find a device or easily stream from it? I wish it was stable. I can’t figure it out.

Functional but could use work

To developer: Please make the rudimentary Mac keyboard shortcuts work: Cmd+Q should quit the app rather than bringing up the search.
