Wonder how much they'd drop the price for dropping the crummy HDTV+Antenna (because why bother, really, unless you're in a Mega City like LA or NYC and there's 3 Dozen broadcast stations with big booty or pretty boy anchors to glaze over) and leaving the streaming...
No, I'm fairly certain in my area we have nothing but poop channels, which is why I pointed out the "Mega City" bit. Small cities don't have the viewership to spread around, so the majority of the channels are duplicates from the same broadcast company, Public Use channels, etc.
And I already made the point about the Roku bit : if they weren't charging for the mostly useless HDTV, what would the price be with leaving the streaming feature. Roku ranges from $29-$99, so nixing the HDTV (~$35-$50) would put it at least around $50 by itself.
Gimmeit's not a Roku on its own, so, i would guess $29-$99 for a Roku. this is JUST a tuner, with a transcoder to send the video to other devices on your network, one of which being possible, is a Roku.
The overview and specs are very lacking. No mention of how many tuners. Does it support Plex DVR? Even Mohu's own website lacks this information.
Seems like SiliconDust's HD Homerun Connect Duo/Quattro would be a safer bet as it's a tried and tested product. Youtube also has some pretty poor reviews on the Mohu AirWave.
Original Airwave came out about a year ago and was a total flop....never properly worked as described. After many consumer returns and bad press, it was finally pulled from the market. Mohu was not very helpful in it’s ability to corrrect the flaws with the original airwave and left many buyers holding the bag. I would be careful about the reliability of this “new version”.
ChronomlyIt does not. I supports most Roku products (although the higher end ones are better), 4th gen and above Apple TVs and the Amazon fire TV products.
LaserGuidedSockYes, sort of. It’s an antenna and a box that makes the antenna feed available on your local network. You use an app (on your phone, Apple TV, etc) to view the stream.
So basically, it lets you view broadcast TV on your phone, tablet, or TV via an app.
The advantages of doing this on a phone or tablet are obvious, but you may be thinking, why would I use this for my TV instead just hooking an antenna up directly to the TV?
One reason is so you can put the antenna in an ideal location, rather than near the TV. Another would be if you have multiple TVs (though I don’t know if this Mohu has multiple tuners; if not, you’d have to watch the same station on each TV. Homerun HD offers up to four tuners, so you can watch up to four different channels on TVs, phones, and tablets).
Note that neither this nor Homerun HD allow you to watch live TV when not on your local network.
I tried the first version of the AirWave, and it wasn’t ready for prime time. I understand they’ve made some improvements since then, but I’d still strongly recommend doing what I ended up doing: getting an HD Homerun and using it with the antenna of your choice. If you’re using iOS or Apple TV, add the Channels app. This combo has been great.
One thing to note: HD Homerun doesn’t have WiFi, so you’ll need to connect it directly to your router or to a switch.
Odd-EdChannels. It turns out it's also available for Android and Fire TV. I haven't used those, but the iOS and Apple TV app are very nice. The Apple TV and iOS apps are separate purchases, but if you have multiple Apple TVs, or multiple iOS devices, you only have to buy it once per device family. I assume something similar applies to Android and Fire TV.
