Introducing the HD HomeRun...
Stream digital TV over your home network...
HDHomeRun is an unique, centralized dual-digital TV tuner that connects to your Ethernet network. It can be shared by any computer running the included EyeTV software or Windows 7 Media Center. If there is an existing Wi-Fi network*, you can even stream TV wirelessly.
Antenna or Cable
Connect HDHomeRun to your TV antenna to bring in the digital channels (referred to as ATSC) that are broadcast over-the-air for free. Alternatively, HDHomeRun can be connected directly to your incoming cable line to receive the unencrypted digital (Clear QAM) channels that may be offered by your cable provider.
Seamless operation on multiple computers
A dual tuner, HDHomeRun works seamlessly on multiple computers. One person can watch and record TV on a Mac, and at the same time a second person can watch and record a different channel on another computer, for instance a PC running Windows 7 Media Center. Or, one person can record a show and watch another show on a different channel.
Double your HDTV capacity
You can easily expand capacity* by connecting additional HDHomeRuns to the network. EyeTV software and Windows Media Center share the pool of HDHomeRun tuners and automatically allocate them between computers as needed.
Flexible placement options
Because HDHomeRun is a network device, one antenna or cable TV connection will serve every computer. Simply position HDHomeRun tuner out-of-sight near your TV antenna or cable outlet, and connect it to your Ethernet network.
Discreetly out-of-sight
If you do not have a home Wi-Fi network for wireless television and prefer not to run Ethernet cables to computers throughout the home, powerline adapters (not included) can be used as an alternative. Powerline adapters can be used to route your network around your house over electrical power lines, so that your computers can access the network via a nearby electrical outlet on the wall.
