The options include presets for a variety of iOS devices, Apple TV models, and HD formats, and you can customize the settings further. Unlike the other DVRs in testing, you can transcode recordings from eyeTV to iTunes, and set that up as an automatic option after the app captures a program. While some remote-control apps can traverse that, eyeTV cannot.) (I have a “double NAT” due to my ISP’s peculiarity.

When a networked app or device connects to one of the tuners, the hardware marks it as in use. standard that lets you use BYOB tuner/DVR with cable service, including encrypted signals, but not those that also have DRM on top.Īll three versions plug into a network via 100Mbps ethernet and have a coaxial connection for an internal or external ATSC antenna, although each can also be used with subscription cable TV, from which it can handle Clear QAM (unencrypted cable) signals. There’s a third model too, called HDHomeRun Prime ($120 on Amazon), which adds an additional tuner connected to a slot for a CableCard, an erratically supported U.S. The Extend has built-in on-the-fly H.264 compression, which produces a dramatically smaller file. The HDHomeRun Connect ($93 on Amazon) and HDHomeRun Extend ($179.99 MSRP available on Amazon) versions both have two tuners, but the Connect streams high-bandwidth uncompressed video (usually in MPEG2 format), which can run 20Mbps for HD content.
