 <​lead>​The HDHomeRun EXTEND is similar to an HDHomeRun CONNECT DUO, but with the addition of powerful transcoding capabilities. It contains two internal tuners and can transcode both at the same time. Transcoding is a process where video is converted from one format to another, which allows the EXTEND to receive large "​MPEG2"​ video broadcasts and convert them into smaller "​h.264"​ video streams. These smaller video streams can help in situations where wifi or other network performance is a concern, and can be used to make smaller video file sizes when recording broadcast content.</​lead>​ <​lead>​The HDHomeRun EXTEND is similar to an HDHomeRun CONNECT DUO, but with the addition of powerful transcoding capabilities.

 The HDHomeRun EXTEND originally came with an all-plastic case and a small cooling fan. It has since been updated to use an all-metal case, which is used to cool the unit's electronics and remove the need for an internal fan. The HDHomeRun EXTEND originally came with an all-plastic case and a small cooling fan.
