    Free to Air is FREE, why should I pay $145 for this.

    Also, how does it replace the cable channels ???

      You can transmit TV with this over your network and stream it, e.g., via Plex. It's an amazingly flexible device. $145 is a great price.

    • asa79 on 08/02/2018 - 07:43

      This just saves you having to put a TV tuner in your PC, or having a media PC when all you have is MI boxes or xboxes etc

          Tho its only saving if you were going to build a machine to being with.

    Nice idea; wrong price.

    My folks could use this. They have ethernet everywhere in the unit, no BNC sockets. Can't watch FTA TV which is sad of course. But for 1/5 of the price, can convert the signal and move it over cat5 cheaper.

    • jv on 07/02/2018 - 22:42

      no BNC sockets. Can't watch FTA TV which is sad of course.

      Well this won't work then as you still need an aerial…

    • asa79 on 08/02/2018 - 07:44

      You still need an antenna to use this

    Although this is still officially the current AU model, there is an imminent release of a newer version which is already available in the US.

    Any updates as to when the new HDHomeRun Quattro HDHR5-4DT(AU) will be available?

  • OzJunkGain on 07/02/2018 - 23:05

    No MPEG-4 support.

    • trongy on 08/02/2018 - 07:39

      It doesn't support MPEG2 decoding either. You do that in software on the receiving device.

    So $145 dollarydoo's to stream free to air tv around the house?

    I feel I can achieve this with existing tech.
    BRB

    Edit 1: There's an app for that, kinda. Freeview app. All channels steamed to a device. Not quite the same though, as you need internet data to watch. Let me keep checking.

    Edit 2: Dlink have a product - Portable Digital TV Receiver DSMT100. First link is $25, so probably can find dirt cheap.

    What else can this do?

    • masuta on 08/02/2018 - 04:09

      A) your product is discontinued
      B) your product is a USB tuner for an Android phone.

      You do understand what the hdhomerun does?

      • Salmando on 08/02/2018 - 08:19

        No, hence why I asked.

        Looks like a live TV recorder and steamer.
        Also, can't find anywhere that the freeview app is discontinued

        • vger74656 on 08/02/2018 - 13:59

          It's a network TV streamer. It means, in my example, I can watch TV in my outside study without having the need to run BNC cabling, an amplifier, etc. I can stream FTA 2 TV boradcasts at the same time to anywhere in my house that has a network/wifi connection, whether that be my laptop, phone, tablet, PC, Kodi unit, Smart TV, whatever. I need a single antenna socket to plug it into, a network connection and it's all done. Much cheaper than rewiring my whole house.

        • Ramrunner on 08/02/2018 - 14:46

          @vger74656: Just adding to that if you have something like MythTV running on a box somewhere it can use these as tuners, so you can record the streams also.

          In fact if you have a QNAP (probably others also), they can also be configured to use these as a DVR also

    Negging because cheaper elsewhere in Australia and Associated OP isn't even providing a discount …

    https://www.thestreamingguys.com.au/hdhomerun/
    $145.00 + $20.00 Standard Shipping = $165.00
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SiliconDust-HDHomeRun-CONNECT-in…
    $149.00 - 5% code PICK5 = $141.55 + $7.50 Express Postage = $149.05 or C&C Woolworths

    … this is OzBargain, not OzAdvertising.

    I got mine for $120 years ago. So no bargain here.

    Didn't include shipping in title. Not a discounted item, cheaper elsewhere. This is obviously just an ad.

    Happy first post OP! can you please explain how this is a bargain if you can get it $15.90 cheaper at PJC's link?

    Where was this thing a few years ago when I was desperate to buy a couple, could only buy it from the states which made it risky and expensive?

    I had a MythTV media PC and wanted to add a couple of these to it for so long.

    In the end it was way too hard and I bought a FetchTV Mighty a year or so back. Would never go back now the FecthTV is indeed mighty.

    Took way to long for these to get here and although there's no direct alternative, the Fetch really does most of what you need (OK I can't watch Live TV on other devices but I can live with that).

    Shame. HDHomeRun took way to long to care about AU for me.

    • AlexF on 08/02/2018 - 09:16

      Bought at JB HiFi, 5-6 years ago. Using with Windows 7 Media Centre, every day for years.

      • Ramrunner on 08/02/2018 - 11:07

        Wow never saw them here and never came up in Google searches. It may have been more than 2 years ago but it certainly wasn't 5-6. Don't know what to tell you unless WA never stocked them.

        Seriously had been looking for ages and only US sites used to come up.

        I believe you don't get me wrong. Just never came up for me.

        • AlexF on 08/02/2018 - 18:05

          Kaiser Baas Dual Network Tuner - not my post, just corroboration.

        • Ramrunner on 08/02/2018 - 19:12

          @AlexF: I did say I believe you :) I didn't know Kaiser Baas did them here though. Even when I type HDHomeRun into Google now it still comes up with the SiliconDust manufacturer.

          However NOW they come up as available in multiple places in Australia. No trace of Kaiser Baas.

          Like I said I don't know what happened at the time I searched a few times but never saw this Kaiser Baas version come up. Also your posts are from 2015. It IS possible I was looking before then (can't believe we're already in 2018).

        • AlexF on 09/02/2018 - 00:37

          @Ramrunner:
          Kaiser Baas simply repackaged HDHomeRun in Australia - it was always 100% SiliconDust.

          First post on Whirlpool thread is “2011-Aug-22”.

        • Ramrunner on 13/02/2018 - 13:47

          @AlexF: You're right read the wrong date at the top not next to the post. But for the 3rd time, I did say I believed you anyway :).

          Don't know what happened when I was searching for those devices then. Probably too specific in my search terms or something.

          Thanks for the clarification. I've moved from MythTV/Hauppauge tuners (2 x 2) to FetchTV about a year ago. So far the only things that have bugged me is I can't watch live TV through other devices AND I had 20 virtual tuners set up under Myth and seemed to never run out of tuners but it has actually happened on Fetch a few times.

          Other than that is actually does more than the Myth used to. Doesn't mean I'd never go back though :)
