Can someone recommend a storage device to use with my HDhomerun? Doesn't have to be huge, helping an older person set up their DVR and HD Homerun, just need to know what storage device people recommend.
The same functionality recently released for iOS and Apple TV is now available in the Google Play Store for Android phones, tablets, Android TV, and Google TV.
Library: Browse and watch supported Plex movies, shows, episodes, and recordings, along with supported Tablo Gen 4 and HDHomeRun DVR recordings. Library content includes artwork, show and season browsing, playback progress, and resume support where available. Library management actions such as deleting recordings are not currently available.
IPTV: Add an M3U playlist or connect using Xtream Codes. M3U sources can also use optional XMLTV guide data.
Cameras and live feeds: Add compatible RTSP, RTSPS, HLS, HTTP, and HTTPS feeds. Supported ONVIF cameras can expose pan, tilt, and zoom controls when an ONVIF port is provided. Camera audio can also be continuously monitored in a multiview while another source remains selected for primary audio.
New navigation: Android phones and tablets now have separate Home, Guide, Library, and Layouts sections. The new Layouts page provides a dedicated place to create and manage saved multiview setups. Android TV and Google TV have also been reorganized around easier access to Home, Multiview, Guide, Library, and Settings.
Channel management: Channels can be favorited, hidden, and managed by source. This is especially useful for IPTV sources with large channel lineups. The Guide can also be filtered by category, source, or playlist group.
Multiview is a player rather than a content service. It does not provide channels, IPTV playlists, media, or subscriptions. You must connect sources and content that you’re authorized to access.

Given this is a large update, feedback is especially welcome. Specifically interested to hear how the Library organization, IPTV and camera setup, channel management, and new navigation work with your particular combination of devices and sources. Large IPTV sources are likely to be a bigger source of feedback - please keep it coming.
Feature requests and bug reports are welcome. If reporting a problem, please include your device model and Android version when possible.
So, I know we are in DRM hell with ATSC 3.0, BUT my primary interest in ATSC 3.0 is the "potential" better picture quality. I primarily watch the major networks for sports (95% NFL football and 5% other/olympics/etc/) - I am perpetually underwhelmed by most of Fox's 720P broadcast, but NBC's 1080 (Sunday Night Football) is OK. The local stations broadcasting in ATSC 3.0 are all broadcasting 1080P which would likely be better for motion, but not sure how compelling it is overall (I understand it is a more modern compression algorithm too so MAYBE less loss???).
Anyway, anyone have any actual experience A/Bing the content between ATSC 1 and 3?
Thanks!
Not sure what happened, but I woke up this morning to the AppleTV version of Homerun no longer working properly - it'll fire up, I can get to the channel guide but if I move a couple of channels in any direction, it just crashes.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling it... works fine on macOS.
Is the app broken or is it just me?
Once the ATSC 3.0 standards/licensing situation is fully clarified, is there any chance SiliconDust would consider adding built-in Wi-Fi to a future HDHomeRun device?
I know the thinking at SiliconDust has been that Wi-Fi can be too unstable to reliably support the use case, but in my experience the extender works extremely well. The downside is that it’s just a pretty ugly and bulky solution.
Right now I’m using a Wi-Fi extender to connect my HDHomeRun, and it’s been relatively flawless. It seems like built-in Wi-Fi could make the device much more flexible for installations where running Ethernet isn’t practical.
Curious if SiliconDust has considered this for the next update.
Has anyone bought the $39 app from the App Store? If so, is it better than the native HDhomerun app? Should I buy it?
Just updated apple tv app now
All channel 7 stay black screen in Australia
Other channels all working
Or sometimes some channels got black screen
Vlc app and channels app and multiview app all working got no issues
On fire tv and google tv hdhomerun app working no issues
This is apple tv app issue only
Please update the app ASAP and fix it
Hey all! I just picked up a Flex4K earlier this week and paired it with a 4TB WD Portable Spinning Harddrive I had sitting on a shelf.
It's been fun poking around and playing with it, but I have a question.
My main reason for this setup is actually holiday programing. Specifically the Macy's Day Parade. Family gets together to watch it, and while we can stream it, it's the East Coast broadcast so I have to get up early and hit pause and hope no one cancels it mid watch to be able to start it when we want. People also tend to show up late...
My question is when I watch a recording from start WHILE IT IS ACTIVELY RECORDING, can this cause issues? In my limited testing, it doesn't seem like it. Tuning to the channel I can't go backwards, but watching it from the recorded section I am able to. And once I catch up to where it was "live" when I started watching, it just keeps going. This is perfect.
Is there a risk I have here of corrupting the recording? Any downsides? I don't want to be the one who spoils a holiday this year with my "fancy" gadgets 😂
Does anybody know anything about these? I’m interested in learning more about these and to know if they have other purposes then just broadcasting live tv? Also were these areas picked out for any specific reason? Could another location be added?
I've an HD HomeRun with four ATSC 1 tuners, and running it on FireTV stick, no other apps using it. Seems only one tuner is ever active, according to the webpage "tuner status", yes I've refreshed after every change. I'd hoped that it would use all four tuners when switching channels to speed up channel changes, and only turn them off or change when oversubscribed.
Takes 3-4 seconds for the HDHR to change a channel. Our Samsung QN85 takes 2 seconds or a bit less to change the channel using its remote dedicated Up/Dn switch, if I make two or three qiuck presses it'll skip two or three channels in ~2 seconds. If I try this on the HDHR with the FireTV remote it "crashes" to a black screen and I have to back arrow to the Guide or Live menu. If I could get all needed channels at this TV location with an indoor antenna I wouldn't have needed the HDHR.
U-Verse had very fast channel changes (only thing faster was old analog NTSC), and I grew accustomed to cycling through favorites while watching college football games live.
I'm trying the FireTV stick because I'd like one click channel up/down, but if I hold the button down for a fraction of a second without releasing it the side menu pops up.
I've also tried using the Up/Down arrows to pop up the sidebar and not choose adjacent channels but still only tuner0 is being used.
The schedule is listing at 8:00 PM what's actually being shown at 9:00 PM for example. So the guide data is an hour early (or the station is showing everything an hour late).
This is for RetroTV, virtual channel 30.4, KMMC-LD physical channel 14, hosted by KDTS-LD in the San Francisco Bay market. Tuner ID 10A53FC5.
Kind of strange. It seems like they're following the Mountain time schedule, but doing it in Pacific time.
Edit: see my comment below; I think what's actually happening is the station is showing the east coast feed of RetroTV, so everything is actually 3 hours ahead, and what I thought I was seeing yesterday was an artifact of the program I was watching being shown twice a day, four hours apart, and I mistook one for the other.
Remember remember the 5th of November.
It was a great run and SiliconDust made a great product.
I have an Hdhomerun flex quatro, a Synology ds920+ and Roku ultra 2024 model. Plex is installed directly to the Synology on the latest build. The default settings in the plex app on the Roku force transcoding on live tv viewing and it's slow to start (buffering circle 33% ->50% -> start). Also on recordings it's also slow to start and each skip or rewind has another buffer. Is there anyway to make all this more instant? The hdhomerun dvr software recording to the same ds920+ has near instant tuning and skip in recordings on the Roku app
I have spent quite a bit of time looking at the SiliconDust web site and searching the web and cannot find any specification for the USB ports on the HDHomeRun hardware. It *looks* like a USBA port, but what is it really? How the heck do you find this basic information?
Thanks
Question, I have my dvd account, I've already set multiple recording and it is working fine. But today, when I go to a program in my guide and select it nothing happens, I can't get to the record screen. Any body else expeircening this?
