So far, we are quite pleased with this unit. We've had it working for about a month now. The HDHomeRun unit sits beside our wife router, and is attached to an antenna in the attic. I have a portable USB HDD hard drive attached to the unit by a short USB cable. I thought 500 GB would be plenty, but we go through it pretty quickly over the course of a couple of weeks. It keeps me disciplined to delete stuff we won't go back to, but if I was doing it again, I would get a 1 TB drive. We purchased the annual guide subscription ($35 US) - totally worth it to see what is coming up over the next few weeks and to record what we want. The HDHomeRun app is loaded on each Fire Stick for each TV in the house and on my computer, so live and recorded TV is available to all TVs and computers, and recordings can be managed from any device. It works perfectly - does everything we were hoping for. Our only complaint is that the home screen navigation is a bit clumsy - especially getting between the channel bar and the menu bar with our Fire Stick remote - and the bottom menu is tiny. We got used to it quickly enough and its not a big deal. Overall, it's a great little unit that gets free network TV and let's us skip through commercials on recorded programs. Highly recommend.
