Works but could be better
App works Ok on my AppleTVs but the UI needs a little love, as it looks basic and outdated. With AI coding they could redo the AI within a day. Also the app cannot show some channels that are DRM protected which is a big problem. A few other channels have issues in older Apple TVs due to resolutions that could be solved via software.

Wont start
Won’t start on any computer , upgrading firmware do nothing better.
A joke
This is literally a joke the app if horrendous and the hardware produces VERY poor quality tv
WTH?!?
How can an app designed to play TV not play TV? I have been looking for a replacement for Fire Recast and tried HD HomeRun. The HW is fine. It plays well with Plex. The app even plays well on Firestick and Mac. But the app is juddering rubbish on an AppleTV. Why?
Really Useful
Might not be the best app in the world but works on my MacBook Air’s and also my MacBook Studio M1. I tend to use Plex to get the Guide - and as plex also works with HDRum it’s my video recorder now.
Unstable
This app is about as stable as a one legged tight rope walker with an itch. Awarding one star only because zero or preferably negative stars were not provided as an option.
Terrible app it freezes
I just got the HD box and downloaded the app on my tv and it barely works. It keeps freezing. I am returning the box. Terrible. Not worth it!
This really works.
If you have a good antenna system, and a properly set up LAN, this app gets the job done with no real problems. The UI is a little bit awkward, but nothing that keeps you from seeing all the channels clearly and reliably.
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.
Means to an end, but wow it’s bare bones
Command+Q isn’t even working in this version, it brings up search. LOL.
Missing Samsung
This app could use work. I would give it 3.5 stars if it solved for the full ecosystem. Currently missing a Samsung TV version which is a BIG deal in my house. Samsung has a big slice of the TV market share. You can't ignore it
Zero stars. Junk app.
This app looks like it was written 20 years ago.
Just Works
Great product! I hooked it up to a ClearStream 4v antenna and I got 45 local channels automatically. Now I can watch local sports over the air. The app works on all my TVs via Apple TV and Roku and on my iPhone. If you get a good antenna and are in range of your local broadcasters you’ll be golden. I don’t understand why this app has a 2.5 rating!

This works good on AppeTv 4k
I have actually downloaded this to my Apple TV 4K directly from the App store. I first had this installed on my MacMini M4, OS 26..5 as of today / 05/17/26. Unfortunately I had to do a clean install to my M4 and now I am having problems. But I still can watch this on my Apple TV, ie the box connected to my Television. I have a good TV antenna on my roof and I receive +106 channels. I’m using the 4 channel tuner from Silicon Dust. I live 50+ miles away in the Tri-valley of Dub,Plea,Liver. I am amazed at the tuner’s sensitivity . Much much better than my Sony.

Marginal for Offgrid
The dvr function requires full time internet access, not unreasonable. But it also loads a large animation at start-time and during frequent cell outages those of us offgrid or on limited bandwidth are unable to use it because it hangs while loading. If nothing else the animation should be cached or skippable.

Renders AppleTV networking useless
On my AppleTVs I’ve isolated the problem to this app - every few times I use it the AppleTV’s Ethernet networking gets confused and stops working for all apps. Only this app and only on AppleTV. For years it has been happening, I restart the AppleTV but it doesn’t work until the next day and only with this app. I can only guess that something non-standard is happening. I use Ethernet and a manual fixed IP. I searched the internet but no answers.
