HDHomeRun Review
HDHomeRun is the app used to watch live TV if you have a HDHomeRun device. Those devices attach to an antenna and broadcast the TV signal on your Wi-Fi network. Depending on your location, this can provide free access to channels like ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, Telemundo, The CW, and Univision.
The interface is quite clunky. If you have a HDHomeRun device, you’re more likely to appreciate the interface on Plex. Plex can access the channels provided by HDHomeRun and offer a more pleasing GUI.
