The Apple TV version costs $25 ($15 for the iOS version), which makes it one of the most expensive apps in the App Store. You can also download it to your iPhone or iPad. Next, install the Channels app on your Apple TV.

From there, the device will automatically boot up and be ready to go. Once you have everything you need, just plug the HDHomerun into power, connect the TV antenna or cable box to the device’s coaxial jack, and use the ethernet cable to connect the HDHomerun to an empty ethernet port on your router. NOTE: If you have cable, you’ll almost certainly need to contact your cable provider and have them install a CableCARD in your HDHomerun as well, since the vast majority of cable channels are encrypted. I’m using the Mohu Leaf antenna for this guide. To install the HDHomerun, you’ll need the device, its power cord, an ethernet cable (included), and a TV antenna or cable box. It’s cheaper than the Extend, which is nice (although the Extend comes with a newer, fanless design).

Most newer routers today use 802.11ac anyway, so feel free to go with the Connect if your router supports 802.11ac. The Connect and Extend are very similar, except the Connect model requires an 802.11ac router in order to watch live TV over Wi-Fi, while the Extend only requires an 802.11n router.
