-These "Vega OS" versions are a cheaper, crappier version of the Fire TV, and should be avoided for many reasons, including that it doesn't work with the HDHomeRun app.
+SiliconDust is working on creating a version of the HDHomeRun app for these new "Vega"-based Fire TV devices, but we currently don't have an ETA on when that work will be done.
+Fire TV devices that still run "Fire OS" (based on Android) are still fully supported.
