After you place your order we will send you an email with the two options so you can let us know you want option 2.
Option 1: stock in the UK is still about 4 weeks out.
Option 2: we can ship a UK unit to you today from another country. If you do this you will have to pay a bill for VAT/duty and we will issue a refund of that amount back to you.

Today we filed a response to the A3SA's submission to the FCC on docket 16-142. We argued against the use of DRM on public airwaves.
We have released a UI update for early access customers.
To enable - in the HDHomeRun app go into Settings and enable "early access to new features".
If you connect a hard drive to your FLEX (or set up a NAS or PC for recordings) you can make recordings by using the "Record This Airing" feature of the HDHomeRun app.
