September 2026

​

There have been any number of exciting changes in the hardware that we support and install. 

​

SiliconDust the manufacturer of the HDHomeRun OTA whole home Tuner/DVR is nearing completion of the ability to decrypt the ATSC3 encrypted stations. Those include the ATSC3 broadcasts out of the Detroit market. Gateway OTA tuners, which the HDHomeRun is the leader in the market, have been locked out of decrypting the encrypted broadcasts. So those of you who spent the extra $$ for the HDHomeRun devices with the dual ATSC3 tuners, the light at the end of the tunnel may be near. 

​

Last month SiliconDust released the much awaited and most requested update to the HDHomeRun, the ability to tune and record without an active Internet connection. So now when there is an Internet or power outage, but you still have power, you can now watch live TV.
