For $32 this does a fairly nice job of handling the DVR content from the HDHomerun and Plex. Plex is hindered slightly by the fact the box is appearing as a tablet device to Plex but it's otherwise usable.

HDHomerun works perfectly for a $32 device - much better than the Amazon Fire Stick which lacks a deinterlacer. Video quality is perhaps slightly behind what we saw out of the raspberry pi but it's good enough for a secondary television. The nice thing with this configuration is that it's fully functional with a remote for $32 - the Pi requires additional purchases to get functional.

That said because the box lacks AC wireless this may not be ideal for over the air broadcasts. I recommend using ethernet for the best experience.
