SiliconDust HDHomeRun FLEX DUO vs Zapperbox M1 ATSC 3.0 Tuner
Buy the HDHomeRun FLEX DUO if you want one antenna feed shared to phones, tablets, Roku, Fire TV and Apple TV across the house, with recordings to a USB drive you attach. Buy the Zapperbox M1 if you watch on one TV and want ATSC 3.0, 4K, HDR and Dolby AC-4/Atmos from a box with its own remote. The FLEX DUO is the more flexible network tuner and is widely praised for stable streaming to many devices; the M1 is the newer standard and better picture, but it is a single-TV box with a smaller following.
- Choose the HDHomeRun FLEX DUO if you want live TV on several devices at once over your network and already have a streaming stick or box on each TV.
- Choose the Zapperbox M1 if you watch over-the-air TV on one main set and want ATSC 3.0, 4K, HDR and surround sound from a dedicated box with a remote.
