Which HDHomeRun model do I need?
You can learn more which HDHomeRun model to pick in our support article.
Do I need an antenna?
Yes, if you receive tv via your antenna, you will still need it when using the HDHomeRun Connect model. Your antenna is what receives your free over-the-air HD broadcasts. It plugs into the back of the HDHomeRun. The HDHomeRun then simply provides a video stream for each channel that can be watched and recorded..
This sounds like a big hassle, is it really this hard?
It really isn't! It's as simple as plugging your HDTV antenna into the back of the HDHomeRun instead of your TV, then plugging in the HDHomeRun into your router. That's it. It's basically set it and forget it. You won't have to mess with the HDHomeRun device again.
