Cable-box energy.
No cable. No cloud.

TVBrain plugs into the HDHomeRun you already own, learns what you love, and turns 160 channels of over-the-air static into rails of things actually worth watching โ€” live news walls, forgotten westerns, prestige documentaries. Watch in your browser. Everything runs in your house.

TVBrain dashboard: On Now rail with live PBS News Hour, NHK Newsline, France 24; Live Now strip; Top Picks and Foreign & World News rails
The actual product, running on a Mac mini in Los Angeles โ€” every card ranked by a taste engine that runs on hardware you own.

Free for HDHomeRun owners

Early access is rolling out city by city. Your ZIP tells us which broadcast market to teach it next.

No spam, no tracking โ€” one email when your market is ready.

โ— It has taste

A local AI classifies every series on your antenna โ€” news by country, movies by era and quality, the gems buried on channel 54.4 โ€” then learns yours from a thumbs-up. No two dashboards look alike.

โ— Watch in the browser

Click a card, the tuner tunes, the stream plays โ€” live TV in any browser on your network, with a live-news wall that actually knows what's live.

โ— Nothing leaves your house

The guide, the AI, the video โ€” all of it runs on your own hardware. No subscription, no account required to run it, no company watching you watch. Works when the internet doesn't.
