I'm sooo excited. I hope that Super Antenna comes with it for that $200 one time fee.
Seriously though, I wonder if the tuner also works with ATSC 1.0.
Looks like they're doing what TiVo wanted and failed to do.
Now I remember where I heard of them, SelectTV is now FreeCast
On FreeCast | Your Streaming Hub under "Freecast Home" it shows a photo of a HDHomeRun SCRIBE
In their video, it looks like a HDHomeRun with a freecast sticker on top:
On Products they have a rendering which also looks like a HDHomeRun but their logo is inscribed instead of the HDHomeRun logo in exactly the same way SiliconDust does.
I installed the Freecast app on Android and I can see it making requests to my HDHomeRun.
Seems to me they're planning to sell a whitelabel 1TB scribe.
Nice find!
And it answers my question about the Super Antenna (HDFrequency MAX Antenna) shown in their video FreeCast HOME
And could their Stream FreeCast Local Market Channels be LocalBTV | Markets ?
Yes that's what it shows on their website
Looks like a rebranded hdhr in the video with Silicondust’s horrendous gui implementation. Unless it’s android since you can apparently rent movies from Amazon, etc. ?
Looks like a partnership with Silicondust who also Owns HD Frequency antennas.

Also answers the question if it will record encrypted ATSC 3.0.
When the SD HDHR Scribe does, it will.
EDIT: Looks like the SCRIBE is not available and was replaced by the FLEX.
I assume they will ship a white label FLEX and you would have to use a USB hard drive to record?
FreeCast | Your Streaming Hub " * Connect a USB hard drive for full DVR (Requires paid TV Guide)"
SD Product page
ATSC 3.0 HDHomeRun FLEX 4K (HDFX-4K) – SiliconDust SHOP "Connect a USB hard drive for a full DVR (requires paid TV guide)."
Where did you find that?
I asked in the Silicondust Future Development Section if they partnered with FreeCast.
Not bad for $199.99 considering street prices of
$199.99 for the HDFX-4K ATSC 3.0 HDHomeRun FLEX 4K (HDFX-4K) – SiliconDust SHOP
Correction: This is the $49.99 HDFrequency MAX Antenna that should come with the FreeCast HOME. Cable Cutter Indoor HDTV Antenna | HDFrequency.com It's the only one I see with the stated 50 Mile Range
Even though their picture of a Homerun HD Antenna and video don't display the HDFrequency MAX Antenna
This is the one shown in their video that probably comes free (you pay for S&H) with their FREE plan.

The FreeCast Home box shows it is ATSC 1.0 and 3.0 capable.
Also, after reviewing their FAST and Value channel streams on the web, they are definitely using DRM because it will not let you do a screen share or screen recording, it just goes black. The steams also return HLS on Chrome and Firefox, and Fairplay on Safari.
Seems they figured out what others haven’t yet by letting you get local channels on their app not just the TV or internet…way past what Locast was doing and legal.
I talked to their support and they confirmed once this is hooked up to your router you can watch the local channels through their TV and Mobile Apps and with 4 devices at once. Anyone know if anyone else is doing this right now?
If you look closely, you will see they are HDHomeRun units in their box. Which already do ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0
FreeCast is putting it in a more user-friendly app to avoid it being a basic channel app. HDHomeRun seems to be the box but FreeCast is keeping you from changing TV inputs away from your already connected device and put a better price on it.
Someone needs to get this done for all of us because I’m tired of having to move from input to input to input based on what I want to watch and where.
Well I finally got Freecast to load on my browser and FireTV. But is does not seem to be finding my HDHomeRun tuners. I sent that question to their support and they keep ignoring my question.
Does anyone have it working with their HDHomeRun tuners?
It works on iOS and Apple TV with my tuners but I can't get it to do it on my browser. It's a little confusing to navigate, but if you click on a tab above the guide labeled "Channels" a pop up will appear and I selectected "Freecast Home" and it shows me my channels from my tuner. But, like I said, that option for "Freecast Home" doesn't show up for me if I do it on my browser.
So on the FireTV when I click "Channels" all I get is:
There is no option for Freecast Home
Just a guess here, but it seems like not every app for it has that option. I know for sure I can't see it on my browser (Chrome or Edge) but it does show up on my iPhone. Now that I think about it, I am not 100% sure I can see them on the Apple TV. I will check a little later.
Even though I can watch those channels from my tuner live, I don't get any option to record any content on the channels from my tuner, but I do get the option to record from the section titled Value Channels like you mentioned.
If you figure out how to connect hdhr let me know.
First impressions. I used the app for 30minutes. Therefore I am a expert in all things FreeView!!!!!!!
*I installed freeview on Android S10
*TV guide and user interface seems good. Nice, clean, easy navigation. It sorts channels by catagory.
*TV guide filled with crap re-run ststions (pluto type stations)
*Integration with Netflix, Hulu, Disney. Succesfully opened proper app and started playing video. Similar to *.strmlinks, plex discovery. I only tested a few videos and worked on all of them
*Promises integration with HDHR, Sling, Fubo. If it successfully does this it would create 1 unified TV guide like CDVR
*Media Pay. Handle your streaming subscriptions in 1 place. Pause, cancel, renew. I have not tested. I use something similar privacy.com.
*Their TV Guide lets me watch a tv ststion while browsing the guide (A often requested CDVR feature, hint. . . hint)
*Station tuning was fast/reasonable
The bad.
*How do I connect hdhr
*is there a dvr? I didnt see a record button. Maybe I am blind.
*Lack of import local library
*Lack of virtual channels
*I dont understand why they dont have virtual channels
*None of these stationd are playing anything I want to watch. I am turning back on CDVR. It has virtual channels with no commercials and only plays stuff I like.
***Now if only I can figure out how to DVR my virtual channels. Lol
Overall opinion. If this intigrates HDHR and a service like Sling/Fubo. It becomes a real contender. It is essentially CDVR without local server. It would be perfect to setup for grandma or a friend.
If CDVR where the type to worry about competitors. They should be potentially worried. However I know they arent stressed. They have virtual channels. No one who has gotten used to virtual channels is leaving CDVR. So far the only thing Freeview does better is the TV Guide interface. Thats only relevant if you watch live TV. I sure as heck dont watch TV live. That is what DVR is for.
Edit:
*DVR. You can dvr local-now and Allue catogy of stations. If tuning to one of those stations within catagory. A record button appears. Cannot DVR Freeview or Freeview Home
I agree with you on several points you mentioned. I really like the idea of integrating with my recorded TV and my App subscriptions. I experience with that has been hit or miss. Sometimes the video I select will start playing right away and sometimes it just takes me to the App interface itself.
I have played around with it for about 32 minutes so I am even more expert at it that you! 
I am not sure how I feel about the cloud DVR aspect. There are some shows I'd like to keep and I don't like the limitation on how long you can keep recordings.
I find the guide to be too squished to navigate easily. I can't get it to open to full screen, but maybe I am not doing something right there.
They haven't officially released some aspects of it from what I understand, so I will keep my eyes on this one.
You are right. I check my ShieldTV and there is an option for Freecast Home.
