"excellent" (5 out of 5 stars)
A beguilingly clever solution to getting Freeview TV onto computers and other networked devices, SiliconDust's HDHomeRun delivers solid image reproduction from its twin tuners. Compatible with many free software options, the main limitation in results is network speed and computer performance.

"average" (3 out of 6 stars)
SiliconDust's HDHomeRun dual DVB-T tuner supplies some driver software compatible with Windows and other third-party media-centre software. A good concept let down by not entirely smooth performance and high price.

The TV or video card was tested in 3 different magazines and, all in all, was fairly well received.
Under the microscope, the SiliconDust HDHomeRun was able to obtain its best score of "excellent" (5 out of 5 stars) in the 6/2009 issue of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision magazine. PC Pro online magazine gave the product a score of "average" (3 out of 6 stars) in issue 5/2009, which was the lowest score it received.
The SiliconDust HDHomeRun was also able to walk away with the "Hot Buy" (Stuff TV 5/2009) prize.
