The only downside is that you need a separate app to watch live TV. Plex Pass ( $5 per month, $40 per year, or $150 lifetime): This gives you access to Plex’s DVR service and a bunch of other features. Over-the-air antenna: It can be indoor or outdoor, as long you can wire the coaxial cable to the HDHomeRun. The HDHomeRun tuner connects to an antenna via coaxial cable, and to your home network router over ethernet. (Note: If your router isn’t in a location where your over-the-air antenna can get good reception, this solution won’t work for you.) Jared Newman / IDG The HDHomeRun Extend ( $179 at Amazon) uses transcoding to reduce the size of streams and recordings. The HDHomeRun Connect ( $105 at Amazon) requires more bandwidth for streaming, and more storage for recordings. HDHomeRun tuner ($100 to $180): This tuner connects to your router over ethernet, and streams broadcast channels to the Shield. Ideally, the drive should have at least 500GB of storage and a USB 3.0 interface. USB hard drive: You’ll plug this into the Shield to store recordings, unless you have a Shield Pro.
