Did anyone pre-order the HDHR Prime 6-tuner? The shipping date was supposed to be today, but according to Newegg, it has been postponed until 7/22.
What I like about this device is that it assigns network tuners dynamically, rather than statically, like the InfiniTV tuner.

I have been trying for a week to get one of the new Primes working on Spectrum former TWC. The card is paired, but can't get the Tuning Adapter to work. They eventually dispatched a Tech, but no luck. He did give me a spare tuning adapter. Note I have an older Prime that works great including a...

Hi all
I had a second prime laying around so today i plugged it in for fun but didnt see the second prime. Got me thinking maybe media center wont support two primes for 6 tuners. It didnt occur to me that there may be a limit. Is there?
Thanks guys

Just a thought ... I have 3 prime tuners; I use the program Channels DVR. My 4 TV's use the Apple TV devices. I am able to use channels to watch and record TV on all Apple TV devices ... works like a charm.

Hi Everyone. Thinking about cutting the cord. I've been running two Ceton cable cards on WMC since 2011 and I'm fed up with basic TV pricing with Comcast.
My plan is to ditch my two Ceton InfiniTV 4 cards out of my Windows 7 WMC HTPC and switch to HD Homerun 2 or 4 tuner network tuner. I will...
Last post
I think the difference between WMC and the other apps may be that WMC streams directly to video and the others buffer the stream which will allow time for dropped packets over your wireless bridge to be recovered for a more coherent stream. This is just a guess on my part.
Don't know about 49.1....

New Tuner from Silicon Dust

alhaunts » Fri Apr 23, 2021 11:16 pm
First post
Silicon Dust is poised to release a new quad tuner to replace the HDHR5-4K. It's called the HDHomerun Flex 4K. Just got my hands on one today. Seems identical to the Connect 4K except it sports a USB for DVR storage to disk. Working great so far.
Last post
The Flex 4K does have 4 tuners - two are compatible with the now-emerging ATSC 3.0 data. Most ATSC 1.0 tuners will be obsolete in a few years.

Antenna options for the OP depend strictly on the frequencies and signal levels available at his specific location (coordinates plus height AGL). There is no single unit that's good for all.
