The HDHomeRun QUATRO 4K Kickstater
We are launching the ATSC 3.0 capable HDHomeRun QUATRO 4K (HDHR5-4K) on Kickstater today. The QUATRO 4K is equipped with four ATSC TV tuners - two tuners support the new Ultra High Definition ATSC 3.0 broadcasts and all four support standard ATSC 1.0 broadcasts.
If the Kickstarter hits we will kick off a mini production run to support early adopters. The ATSC 3.0 standard is still very much a future standard. Broadcasters are starting to test in select markets with plans to expand testing to 40 major metro areas this year. Locations include Dallas, San Francisco, Phoenix, Seattle, Las Vegas, Kansas City, and Detroit. See here for the full list.
This is for the adventurous - you get to participate in the bringup and testing of this new TV technology as broadcasters themselves test.

A Fair Price
Up until now, ATSC 3.0 products have been $800 for a single tuner USB stick, and over $1000 for anything more. That number is crazy. The HDHomeRun QUATRO 4K is going to be $199.99, just 50 bucks more than our standard HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO.
For broadcasters, developers, and anyone who wants to tinker with ATSC 3.0 we are offering a Developers Edition for $299.99. See the Kickstarter for all the details.
If you are as excited about what ATSC 3.0 brings to free Over the Air TV as we are, head over to the Kickstarter now or head over to our forum!
