User Reviews

Users largely praise HDHomeRun for broad channel access, cross-device reliability, VPN-based remote viewing, and straightforward setup. However, the app suffers from repeated instability, especially on Apple TV, with frequent crashes or channels disappearing after updates. Crashes/freezes occur across iOS/macOS as well. Core drawbacks include missing features like mute/PI P and background audio, a clunky UI, and DRM/encryption limits that block some ATSC 3.0 channels. Overall, strong concept but notable UX and stability issues.

Pros

Reliable across Apple devices (iOS, macOS, Apple TV) with long-term use
Wide channel availability and fast channel changes
VPN/remotely accessible viewing (watch from anywhere)
Supports recording/live TV from antenna and playback on other devices
Easy setup and straightforward initial configuration

Cons

Apple TV-specific instability: frequent stops and 'no channels found' after updates
Frequent crashes/freezes across iOS/macOS and after updates
Missing essential features: no mute/volume control, no Picture-in-Picture, no background audio
Poor UI/UX and performance: non-native UI, sluggish menus, perceived low quality
Encryption/DRM limitations blocking ATSC 3.0 channels and some content

Great product! I hooked it up to a ClearStream 4v antenna and I got 45 local channels automatically. Now I can watch local sports over the air. The app works on all my TVs via Apple TV and Roku and on my iPhone. If you get a good antenna and are in range of your local broadcasters you’ll be golden. I don’t understand why this app has a 2.5 rating!
