Very first of all, when examining these testimonials, be sure to take note that some are about the less costly two-channel gadget and some are about the 4-channel quatro. In addition, at the very least one particular overview is for an item they no extended offer. (not the reviewer’s fault, this is a pain that amazon inflict on us)my gadget is the quatro, and it is outstanding. In all probability the simplest bit of package to established up – plug it in, then go to a internet site, which car-detects it. You can then both use their application (free of charge for viewing dwell tv, but a tiny subscription for the dvr – electronic video clip recording – services), or else only use the box as a tuner gadget, making use of 3rd party program. I use plex, which is easy to configure and appears to be brilliant – it usually means that all my tunes and movie material is held in a person spot, and can be watched/listened to in the exact way. The box is tiny (hand-sized) and so can simply be concealed absent somewhere. There is 1 tiny annoyance – the amazon listing for this says ‘send hdtv through your current household wifi or wired community to the widest assortment of wise devices’. While i know what that indicates now, it led me to consider that the box cold be linked by way of both wifi or wired. This is not the scenario – the unit does not have an option of wifi.

Big advancement more than the older connect model which i also had. Is effective a desire with nvidia shield. Terrific sensitivity with freeview. I use it largely with freeview hd channels. Employed with plex it is really a really helpful solution. I use plex go to use their dvr characteristic. Getting rid of adverts & recording a number of channels operates very well. Remote accessibility through plex looks a bit much more hit n pass up but which is much more of a software/internet challenge,alternatively than a components fault. Recordings done using the gadget are really crisp & thorough & incorporate incredibly minimal sound or blocking.

I enjoy this merchandise it does particularly what it suggests on the tin oh my god i can observe tv anyplace in the world no subject where by i am definitely love it and i am utilizing it by plex.Here are the specifications for the SiliconDust HDHR5-4DT HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO TV Tuner –:

    1. The hdhomerun allows you to watch freeview over your network. The homerun is very easy to set up. The physical unit is a small black box with a metal underside and three inputs: power socket, supplied by the included power adapter, a (100 mbit) ethernet port, a cat 5e cable is included, and a coaxial tv aerial connector. The label on the underside has the mac address for the ethernet port, i used this to assign a fixed ip address from my router’s dhcp server. I then turned the hdhomerun on and accessed its webpage from a webbrowser. There’s no username or password required, which is reasonable for a local network device like this one. The webpage has a few options, but clicking on “channel lineup” allows you to “detect channels”. This populates the channel list with all the freeview channels, including the hd ones. I then downloaded hdhomerun clients.

    First of all, when reading these reviews, please note that some are about the cheaper 2-channel device and some are about the 4-channel quatro. Plus, at least one review is for an item they no longer sell. (not the reviewer’s fault, this is a pain that amazon inflict on us)my device is the quatro, and it is superb. Probably the easiest bit of kit to set up – plug it in, then go to a website, which auto-detects it. You can then either use their software (free for viewing live tv, but a small subscription for the dvr – digital video recording – service), or else simply use the box as a tuner device, using 3rd party software. I use plex, which is easy to configure and looks brilliant – it means that all my music and video content is held in one place, and can be watched/listened to in the same way. The box is tiny (hand-sized) and so can easily be hidden away somewhere. There is one little annoyance – the amazon listing for this says “send hdtv via your existing home wifi or wired network to the widest range of smart devices”. Although i know what that means now, it led me to believe that the box cold be connected via either wifi or wired. This is not the case – the device does not have an option of wifi.

    Big improvement over the older connect model which i also had. Works a dream with nvidia shield. Great sensitivity with freeview. I use it mainly with freeview hd channels. Used with plex it’s a really useful option. I use plex pass to use their dvr feature. Removing adverts & recording multiple channels works well. Remote access via plex seems a bit more hit n miss but that’s more of a software/net issue,rather than a hardware fault. Recordings done using the device are very crisp & detailed & contain very little noise or blocking.
