Antenna Selection Guide Review: Great for whole-home network use!! - Works great with the native iOS and Roku apps, but you will get crashes on both of them when viewing channels where actual RF signal strength or noise is an issue... That being said, it's a great and easy to use device that so far has operated flawlessly when RF signal has not been an underlying issue. I presently use the HDHomeRun tuner device to provide OTA HD streaming to devices and televisions on my home network. The device is located out in my unconditioned barn where the outside roof mounted antenna has a strong signal for all the major network stations I need (mainly for sports). It's connected via underground fiber back in to the home network. (During testing, I actually powered it via PoE with an external adapter while searching for the best location across my property, and it operated without issue by that means as well...) Originally, I did have the same Roku app crash issues mentioned in other reviews, but I was able specifically chase that back to one VHF channel (12.1 at 189.029mhz) with a very high S/N ratio (likely from my outside POE cameras) that would ultimately cause the data stream to be interrupted and crash the native Roku app, but only in that scenario on weak channels. Pointing your web browser to the device provides an intuitive simple interface for configuration and setup. This made signal troubleshooting a breeze by showing strength and s/n readings live for whatever given channel each tuner was parked on. (Handy to look at on your phone while you're making fine antenna adjustments on the rooftop). You can directly access streams via url (for example from VLC) over the network, which will automatically assign an available tuner to whatever channel you're attempting to access. In the end, my production setup has the HDHomeRun fed into TVHeadEnd server that pipes it to Jellyfin (all on the same Linux machine) so OTA TV is available everywhere it's needed. The key here in this setup solves the marginal channel issue for me-- TVHeadEnd service gracefully handles any weak signal issues or interruptions (weather, lightning) before they ever get passed down the line so the video stream never actually crashes. Again, it's my work-around and unique situation that I had fun making work... All that being said, just buy it- you'll be glad you did! Review: Excellent OTA solution to cut the cord and take control of your local channel viewing - Works well. Using it with the PLEX DVR, so can't speak to the attached drive or Channels DVR options, but it is doing the job. The DVR records the shows to my NAS. I have been happy that setting up the recording has been easier than I expected. For example you can set up to record just one show like a soccer game, or all similar soccer games. Setup was easy, I connected it to my router and to the antenna. It picked up a bunch of channels, but it is definitely more selective than my LG TV's tuner. Now that I have it working well, I am thinking that having more tuners would have been useful. ## Features - Watch live TV on multiple devices simultaneously throughout your home with our Multi room Multi user network tuner solution - Full whole-home DVR by connecting a USB hard drive - no subscription required (paid TV guide available for advanced auto-record features) - Compatible with Android, FireTV, AppleTV, Roku, Sony, XBox, iPhone, iPad, Win10/11, Mac - 2 tuners (ATSC 1.0) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B092KM482V | | AntennaDescription | Television | | Best Sellers Rank | #13 in External TV Tuners | | Brand | SiliconDust | | Built-In Media | HDFX-2US, network cable, power adapter | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Android, FireTV, AppleTV, Roku, Sony, XBox, iPhone, iPad, Win10/11, Mac | | Connectivity Technology | Ethernet | | Connector Type | RJ45 | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 947 Reviews | | Includes Remote | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7"L x 5"W x 2.2"H | | Manufacturer | Silicondust USA Inc | | Mfr Part Number | HDFX-2US | | Model Number | HDFX-2US | | Product Dimensions | 7"L x 5"W x 2.2"H | | Tuner Type | ATSC | | UPC | 850028206003 850028206058 | | Warranty Description | 2 year warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SiliconDust - **Color:** black - **Compatible Devices:** Android, FireTV, AppleTV, Roku, Sony, XBox, iPhone, iPad, Win10/11, Mac - **Connectivity Technology:** Ethernet - **Connector Type:** RJ45 ## Images ![SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex Duo 2 x ATSC Tuners - HDFX-2US - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qE-u4zsLL.jpg) ![SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex Duo 2 x ATSC Tuners - HDFX-2US - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CDfW8mbnL.jpg) ![SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex Duo 2 x ATSC Tuners - HDFX-2US - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31AdKnBXXtS.jpg) ![SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex Duo 2 x ATSC Tuners - HDFX-2US - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uPlH6Ln7S.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Says "requires paid tv guide for dvr record", so all recording is totally disabled unless you pay?** A: Just received my order. Attached and it formatted USB drive. Even though the app allows me to setup to record shows, no recording was performed. Under Account Info, showed DVR is not active. After googling, HDHomeRun's web page said subscription ($35/yr) is required if want to use DVR on HDHomeRun ("not required if you are using third party DVR software/service" like Plex). **Q: Router in garage, indoor antenna best by far away window, no ethernet ports in house, coax outlet only. Can I make this unit work?** A: I don't know how you'd do that without an Ethernet connection. This is designed to take "off air" programs by way of an antenna and provide them on an Ethernet connection so that you can either control them with a server (which is often acting as a DVR), or with a network direct connect to your streaming box or Smart TV. If you're running your network using Wi-Fi for streaming, and you have an Ethernet connection in your garage on your router, you could plug it in there. Long coax runs from an antenna can exhibit loss, so it's difficult to assess how well that would work since I'm not actually there, I can't comment. If you can get good TV signals off coax in the garage, then it should be able to work through your router. **Q: Can you record two channels while watching a recorded show?** A: Yes, you can record two channels while watching a recorded show. Recording requires a USB hard drive and TV guide ($35/year). **Q: I have an 8k av receiver w hdmi 2.1. i want uncompressed ota tv with a guide. no need to record/stream. prefer no atsc 3. what are options?** A: Any SiliconDust tuner. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for whole-home network use!! *by S***. on February 24, 2026* Works great with the native iOS and Roku apps, but you will get crashes on both of them when viewing channels where actual RF signal strength or noise is an issue...

Using it with the PLEX DVR, so can't speak to the attached drive or Channels DVR options, but it is doing the job. The DVR records the shows to my NAS. I have been happy that setting up the recording has been easier than I expected. For example you can set up to record just one show like a soccer game, or all similar soccer games.

Now that I have it working well, I am thinking that having more tuners would have been useful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More channels than I expected. *by S***H on July 25, 2022* We cut the cord a long time ago and we stopped watching anything broadcast because, without cable, we didn't have access to DVR things. Without a DVR, we would have to slog through commercials, and we'd become accustomed to binging things without pause. We honestly didn't miss anything and it was almost like our lives became lighter once we weren't tied to some antiquated idea of "primetime network TV". There were a few good shows that we wanted to watch, but they were usually on Hulu, so it wasn't a big deal. Then, once the networks started feeling the pressure, they started to shun Hulu more and more until there were some shows that you couldn't watch unless you subscribed to one of the big 3 networks overpriced streaming services that were a vain attempt to maintain the old order. Thanks to Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu -- we figured good riddance to networks. But there were still a few shows that we wanted to watch that we knew were broadcast, but we still weren't going to watch them with commercials. Not because the idea of commercials is awful, but because of the time involved. Without commercials, a half-hour show drops to 20 minutes. And you can watch an hour-long show in about 40 minutes. Your don't spend your time watching commercials for things you're never going to buy because of the shotgun approach to advertising that is still pervasive. This little device solves those problems. First, there are 2 tuners on this, so you can record 2 channels at the same time (or watch one while the other is recording). To be clear, this doesn't include a DVR, but if you have a network attached storage device (NAS) for your network, then you can hook this up and have the equivalent of a DVR. There are a few downsides, but mostly trivial to figure out how to "fix". One is that it's not easy to know the time when something will be aired without the old cable-box "schedule" menu. This device has a subscription that you can get for a really low yearly price -- or you can get the same thing for free with a little research and creativity. This model only has 2 tuners, but there are others by the same company that have 4 tuners and ones that have built-in hard-drives that will actually function as a bona fide DVR for OTA broadcasts. The main thing you'll need to get in addition to this box is an antenna. There are lots out there and some are better than others so it pays to do a little research. The other thing you'll need is a working internet connection so that you can get the program guides in order to know when "your show" is going to be aired. By itself, this isn't going to impress anyone because it doesn't do anything that a regular TV can't do. This is basically a special purpose device which you need to combine with other devices to get the full potential. I was really surprised by the sheer number of channels that are still being broadcast. I guess that the great cord-cutting exodus left a void that was filled by very cheap distribution by over-the-air. Most of it is still hot-garbage as it always has been. Infomercials, really bad local access shows made by nearby universities. Tons and tons of local annoying commercials, bad network news shows that seem to somehow still be hanging on with whatever life-support is still keeping them viable. The coolest part that we discovered is . . . wait for it . . . Reruns! About a third of the 45 or so channels that we can receive all contain tons and tons of reruns -- with lots and lots of commercials to be sure, but the reruns are from things that you won't easily find on the streaming services. Like the original Twilight Zone comes on two or three episodes back to back every day. You can probably find it to purchase as a whole series, but it's hard to justify purchasing that when you have so many other shows that you could buy. DVD's are pretty much dying out, too. This is quite a bargain for what it is and for what you get. It's very inexpensive compared to buying a whole TV and with 2 tuners. If you're here looking at this item, then chances are you know what you're looking for already, but if you're just browsing and see this, make sure you know what it is before you buy it. It's not magical by itself, and it isn't going to solve a problem if you're not looking for a solution already. What this does is allow you to expand your current "range" of available options that currently exist and do it without adding yet another paid streaming service to your budget. If you are also here intentionally looking for this kind of device, I'll give you a few answers to the questions you might have. It's one of the best ones that I've found for the price and performance. It works well as a tuner and their paid service works well if you don't want the hassle of DIY for the program guide. Removing the commercials from the "taped" shows works very well with the shows I've tried so far so that even removes the need to fast-forward through commercials. It's fast enough and works great for recording 2 shows at once -- no glitches. I can only confirm that it works well with Synology NAS. I have the 220+ model and it's more than enough. Depending on your goal, this model might not be enough. This is the lowest end in the bunch -- and it's even being replaced soon with a more powerful version. But for the price, this is the best and most compatible one that I've found. I'm sure there are better, but not many that could hit this price point. This has been a great addition to our home-entertainment infrastructure, if you will. If you don't want to spend a ton on the over-the-air part of your entertainment flow, then this is for you. Broadcast TV is still a vast wasteland of raw sewage, but every now and then something worthwhile can be found drifting along that pays off. Overall, highly recommend this and other devices by this brand. It's easy to use, it's very small, and runs surprisingly cool for a device with this much packed in. Five stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex Duo 2 x ATSC Tuners - HDFX-2US - SiliconDust LPF-608M LTE Filter for TV Antennas USA 2020 Standard 600/608/618MHz - Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V Indoor Outdoor TV Antenna UHF VHF Multi-Directional, 60+ Mile Range, 4K 8K UHD, NEXTGEN TV – w/Reflector, 20-inch Mast --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/321173453-silicondust-hdhomerun-flex-duo-2-x-atsc-tuners-hdfx-2us](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/321173453-silicondust-hdhomerun-flex-duo-2-x-atsc-tuners-hdfx-2us) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
