-==== What specifically is the difference between the HDHomeRun CONNECT and the HDHomeRun EXTEND? ==== 
-<WRAP indent> 
- 
-Unlike the CONNECT and PRIME which only stream raw mpeg2 HD streams, the EXTEND features a hardware h264 transcoder which can compress video in real-time for lower bandwidth usage. 
- 
-Note that the h264 transcoder built into the EXTEND results in a larger and more expensive device (which is otherwise equivalent to the CONNECT). 
- 
-If you are using a wired network or a latest-generation wireless network over a short distance, we recommend the cheaper CONNECT. 
- 
-If you are using legacy wifi, or have multiple televisions spread out over a large house, we recommend the EXTEND to reduce the bandwidth required between your media devices eg. Nvidia Shield, iOS/tvOS and your HDHomeRun.

 No. Satellite uses a different transmission system than broadcast or cable TV, and there is no requirement for satellite providers to make their systems available to customer-owned hardware, so they don’t. Their set top boxes do not output a signal that is compatible with any HDHomeRun device. No. Satellite uses a different transmission system than broadcast or cable TV, and there is no requirement for satellite providers to make their systems available to customer-owned hardware, so they don’t.

-==== Can I use the HDHomeRun with AT&T U-verse? ==== 
-<WRAP indent> 
- 
-No. AT&T U-verse uses a system called IPTV to deliver TV channels. The channels are delivered as network data to their box, which then decodes it to show on your TV. There is nowhere in this system where a tuner can be connected. Additionally,​ there is no requirement for IPTV systems to allow for the use of customer-owned equipment, so they don’t.
