Balun
by Balun Contributors
A lightweight cross-platform HDHomeRun live TV viewer
About
Balun finds the HDHomeRun tuners on your network, keeps each device's channel lineup separate, and plays unprotected channels with GStreamer. It is a viewer, not a DVR: there is no recording, timeshift, or tuner administration. - Discovers tuners on the local network and remembers tuners you add by address - Shows one channel lineup per device, with favorite, HD, and protected badges - Plays live TV with stop, volume, mute, and fullscreen controls - Talks only to your tuners: no cloud discovery, accounts, or telemetry
