+<lead>[[https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html|VLC media player]] is a highly regarded free and open source program. It can be used as an alternative client for live TV from HDHomeRun hardware.</lead>
+=== Benefits ===
+  * **No internet needed-** VLC can be used without an internet connection to view live TV from HDHomeRun units. As long as there is a local network connection, VLC can present a basic channel list and watch live TV.
+  * **Additional supported platforms-** VLC has existed for many years and is supported by a massive team of volunteers, allowing it to be supported on many additional platforms where a normal [[:app|HDHomeRun client]] might not yet be available.
