SiliconDust HDHomeRun Dual Digital Tuner Information Page

<






Here's some basic information about the HDHomeRun (HDHR)


  • The HDHR is small - approximately 7 1/8" x 4 5/8" x 1 1/4"

  • It gets fairly warm, but not hot. DON'T set it on top of your router, both may overheat.

  • It must be connected to a device that gives it a DHCP type network address. This can be a router or directly to a PC (if PC is configured correctly)

  • A standard electrical connection is required for power

  • A 7 foot RJ-45 cable is included with the unit

  • There are no instructions or software including with the shipped unit. All instructions and software must be accessed/downloaded from http://www.silicondust.com/wiki/support

  • There are two RF connectors on the back of the unit. They can both be used for over the air or QAM cable or one of each

  • Neither tuner will receive analog broadcasts, cable or over the air

  • The tuners can transmit HD streams across a wireless "G", "A" or pre-N network (subject to network capacity, configuration, and signal strength limitations)

  • The tuner has one network address

  • Each tuner can be configured on several PC's, but can record/display only one program at a time

  • The application included with the installation package (VLC LAN) can be used to record or time-shift programs, but has no record scheduling package. A third party application with an Electronic Program Guide (such as Microsoft Media Center, GB-PVR, or SageTV) is highly recommended

  • The HDHR pulls in weak and multi-path signals as well as the best PC tuner's like the OnAir GT and Vbox Cat's Eye 150

  • The internal IR receiver works with Linux but not with Windows at this time

  • Tuner works fine when PC comes out of hibernate/power-save mode to record (tested with Media Center)

  • There is a forum discussion group on the SiliconDust Website and at AVS Fourm here.

  • Currently Microsoft Media Center on a PC can be configured for QAM or over the air but not both
