Review: Love this TV tunner, pays for itself in no time. - I have been using the HDHomeRun Extend since January 2018. It is easy to setup. It being a network connected device, allows to to hide it away in my utility room and not have to run cables to my TV. You might need to buy a good antenna and maybe a cloud/network hard drive, depending on how you are going to use it. If you are not recording anything, then the hard drive is not needed. I canceled my cable due to the outrageous cost. I use this tuner with a cloud hard drive and love it. I have the software running on a 2tb cloud/network hard drive so I do not need to leave computer running to record anything. All recordings are saved to the cloud/network hd. This allows me to access and watch all my recorded shows from anywhere, via a cellphone, a tablet, a computer and even the Fire Stick (with the correct free app) that I take with me when I travel. As long as I can access my personal cloud hd, I can watch my recorded showes. The equipment pays for itself in only few months. After that, it is nothing but savings in your pocket. And NO, I do not miss that expensive monthly cable bill.
Review: Better than I expected. - Bought this for use with PLEX - plugged it in, did the setup via PLEX, worked like a champ! Was disgustingly easy to do - plugged it into my ethernet switch, plugged in the power, ran the setup. I didn't even bother with the manufacturer's website, as PLEX has the DVR functions right there in the app. The picture makes it look bigger than it actually is, so I was happy to see how small it really is - fit nicely behind all of my consoles on the living room entertainment stand and it didn't have a huge bulky adapter either. I wouldn't bother with a single tuner device, as this allows my family to watch live TV over PLEX while I watch live TV on my PC using PLEX - those dual tuners are really useful, even allowing you to watch one program while recording another. Hopefully this lasts many years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does someone have success/good experience with silicondust hdhr extend using signal from an indoor antenna in a manhattan apartment - 6th flr  window?**
A: You will need either a larger antenna or run coax to the roof and set up one there.
A third option, if you're crazy is to use the ground and neutral wires of your electrical outlet along with an isolating transformer. That way the whole building is now your antenna. It seems nuts but people sell this setup for about $40.

**Q: Will the device work if the internet connection is down or is it like Tablo and must have internet to work?**
A: You only need internet for a few minutes a day or a week to pick up a 14 day schedule with Windows 7 Media Center. 
In other words no you don't need internet to record or watch live or recorded shows. 
You do need internet to update whatever program you're using to record and play live TV once in awhile.

**Q: How do select different channels on the tv? do you change the on the tv or the main unit? if on the main unit is this controlled remotely?**
A: This depends on what you're watching with.  As far as I know, you don't need to do anything on the homerun, other than configuring which channels are available. 
Plex can access any channel available on this device. Samsung TVs (recent TVs, at least) can use it as a source (it discovers it on the network,) and you simply change the channels with the TV remote. This model can allow up two devices to connect, and each can access different channels simultaneously.

**Q: can i access Netflix and Amazon prime video?  If so, can i record from either?**
A: I use SD Homerun to access all the broadcast stations.  I have a firestick on each TV which runs the HD player app.  The firestick gives you access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. directly from the internet.  HD Home run only tunes in the broadcast stations and puts them on your WiFi

### ⭐⭐⭐ very expensive cost me 2x windows96 MCE os's.
*by S***I on May 8, 2018*

wiped my 2 win 95 mce computers trying to install this. it crashed the os.. not a fluke as it did it to both computers. since my computer was dated i bought a new nice one.. it works with the windows 10 modern computer. nothing can replace WMC tho.. nothing in it's class. do not try to install software for this on a win 95 computer. this is great hardware.. or was.. when paired with win 95 MCE ( this was my second tuner other one is several years old) the new tuner seems to be more sensitive as a plus. but it got a pretty big neg when it trashed two of my window installs. ONly one of them was a full retail version. The many years old hd homerun tuner worked fine with win 95 MCE. no software should ever destroy an operating system. first thing any install software should do is handshake with the os to ensure it's supported. this just hung up my os during install .. and then it corrupted the os.. i'm not too happy with silicon dust. even tho they do make a good hardware product. windows 10 is garbage, a touch screen apple knock off not anywhere near as good as windows 7. but at least this product works iwth windows 10.
