At home, straight from the tuner
On the same network as your HDHomeRun, Beamaway finds it and plays channels directly — no computer in between. Broadcast MPEG-2 video and AC-3 audio play as they come off the air.
For HDHomeRun tuners
Make yourself at home.
Your channels. Your screen. Watch the antenna TV your HDHomeRun picks up on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac — at home straight from the tuner, or anywhere through a relay on your own Mac.
Two ways to watch
Anywhere, through your Mac
Turn on Enable relay in Beamaway for Mac and it streams your tuner to your phone, tablet and TV wherever you are, at the quality your connection can carry. It runs on your Mac, at your own address.
Share it with your people
Invite family with a link that has its own limit and expiry, and end anyone's access at any time. Set up an Apple TV by scanning the code on screen with your phone.
