HDHomeRun PVR Client review
A free Kodi PVR client for HDHomeRun, with packages for Windows, macOS, and Android.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HDHomeRun PVR Client connects Kodi to an HDHomeRun tuner as a PVR client. It suits people who already use HDHomeRun and want to connect it to Kodi, rather than Kodi users looking for a general-purpose add-on. The add-on is free and open source under GPL-2.0-or-later, and Kodi’s Omega add-on catalog lists packages for Windows, macOS, and Android architectures.
Installation is available through Kodi’s add-on interface or manually via a platform-specific ZIP. The project’s source repository also provides build instructions for Linux and Windows, but the cataloged package availability is for Windows, macOS, and Android. That makes the Kodi interface the direct route for users on those listed platforms; manual ZIP installation is an option for those who prefer it. The product’s stated purpose is narrow: connecting Kodi and HDHomeRun as a PVR client.
The fit is strongest for an existing HDHomeRun setup where Kodi is the intended PVR client. It is less suitable for someone seeking a broader IPTV add-on, or who needs specific playback, guide, or timer capabilities established before choosing; those capabilities are not described here. The project lists community support, so buyers who need a specified support channel beyond community assistance should consider that limitation. For a free, open-source Kodi-to-HDHomeRun connection on a listed platform, it is a focused option.
