Our take on the Zapper Mini

The Zapper Mini is a tuner-free TV receiver that streams local broadcast channels from another ZapperBox gateway on your home network. It adds HDR and 4K playback, a grid guide, and DVR control with pause, fast-forward and rewind of live TV, all without a monthly subscription. It suits a second room or a TV far from an antenna, but it does nothing on its own: it needs a gateway device with a subscription to work. Rivals like the HDHomeRun Flex put the tuner in the box, so this is a companion unit rather than a standalone one.
