TV tuner product family by SiliconDust
A rack-mounted HDHomeRun HDHomeRun is a network-attached digital television tuner box, produced by the company SiliconDust USA, Inc.
Overview
Unlike standard set-top box (or set-top unit) appliances, HDHomeRun does not have a video output that connects directly to the user's television. It instead receives a live TV signal and then streams the decoded video over a local area network to an existing smart phone , tablet computer , smart tv , set top streaming device , computer , or game console . This allows it to stream content to multiple viewing locations.[ 1]
Compatibility
The HDHomeRun can be controlled and viewed from a wide variety of DVR /PVR software . Microsoft provides Windows Media Center for Windows XP through 8, but discontinued the product in Windows 10 .[ 2] macOS 10 runs EyeTV 3 .[ 3] Linux runs Myth TV .[ 4] [ 5]
Newer models of HDHomeRun are DLNA device compatible.[ 6]

HDHomeRun PRIME
Introduced in Fall 2011, the HDHomeRun PRIME provided the ability to view and record all the digital cable channels the user subscribed to without using a cable-supplied set-top-box. The device employed a CableCARD to replace the set-top box. The HDHomeRun PRIME could be integrated with Windows Media Center (WMC). With 3 tuners, the PRIME let you record two programs and watch another live simultaneously. Due to a change in FCC regulation (cable service providers no longer have to make CableCARDs available to their customers), they are no longer in production.[ 8]
HDHomeRun Premium TV
Launched in 2018, HDHomeRun Premium TV was a virtual MVPD service that worked with the HDHomeRun Prime and HDHomeRun DVR service. A notable feature of this service was the ability to record the channel streams to a local hard drive for time-shifted viewing. In March 2019, HDHomeRun announced that it would shut down its Premium service.[ 11]
