Cons

Final Thoughts
There are a few tradeoffs here. To use the DVR feature you need an always-on media center, which could be a PC or an TV device such as the Nvidia Shield.
You also need to make sure the HDHomeRun is close enough to your router to plug in an Ethernet cable as the HDHomeRun needs a ethernet cable to work. After you connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable you can use Wi-Fi to connect a Fire TV for example.
Now with that said the HDHomeRun Extend is flexible and a great option for anyone who has a home media service. You can use it with Kodi, Plex, and HDHomeRun’s own apps and DVR service giving you a great deal of flexibility for those who are looking for it.
