The new add-on interface allows users to now see the channel
logo, a complete description of the show currently airing, an image/showcard of
the program and even a summary of what’s coming up next. In addition, the
add-on will allow the HDHomeRun to remember the last channel it was on, where
previously, this function was not available.
"The beauty of the HDHomeRun
add-on is its elegance ... There's really no set up. Just install the add-on
and you're good to go," says Edwin Kim, Vice President
of Products for Silicondust USA.
Overall, the guide interface add-on provides users with more of
a set-top box type of guide interface, but is an open source (GPL) piece of
software that runs on low-end hardware including Mac OS X, Raspberry Pi,
Android, Windows and virtually any device that is Kodi-supported.
"We are very excited to see an
HDHomeRun add-on for Kodi. It will be one of the very few add-ons that will
support legit guide data and provide an enriched TV viewing experience for Kodi
users," said Keith Herrington of Business Development for Kodi.
The HDHomeRun add-on is now
available in the USA, Canada, with additional anticipated availability
in the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries as soon as June 1st,
2015.
“We are thrilled at the excitement the
HDHomeRun guide add-on is stirring up, and are positive Kodi users will enjoy
not only the elegance of the guide interface, but the integration of FYI’s
accurate and in-depth program information and image content. Accuracy and
completeness truly does make the user experience that much better,” says
Christopher S. Stark, President and CEO of FYI.
The HDHomeRun add-on is available now. To learn more
