xXSagaiaXx 24 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm trying to decide which HDHomerun to get. Either the Connect or the Extend. I have an older version but it wont connect to emby unless I use a backend program, which I pull my hair to get setup. So I'm opting for the easier way. I'd like to stick with the Connect cause it's cheaper. The extend has the onboard transcoding but I dont know if emby takes advantage of it. Thanks, S.

Luke 37183 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 We do take advantage of the HDHR transcoding, yes. It can help reduce transcoding required by Emby Server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmcroy 315 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I currently use and HDHomerun Prime and an Extend. I have used the Connect version in the past and I would definitely recommend the Extend version if you are only needing an OTA tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk The extend seems to be very limited stock at most stores recently. Speculation is that SiliconDust is trying to clear inventory before announcing a new version. Nothing has been confirmed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that Amazon was sold out. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
