 +===== About the app =====
 +
 +The HDHomeRun app is the main way to access live TV from your HDHomeRun tuner, and to set and watch recordings from your HDHomeRun DVR subscription.
 +
 +  * **Live TV -** All HDHomeRun customers have free access to our app, which includes program summaries, 24 hours of future program data, searching for current and upcoming programs, pausing live TV (up to 60m, req 2+GB RAM), and rewinding live TV (up to 5m, req 2+GB RAM).
 +
 +  * **[[:DVR|Recording]] -** Customers with a DVR subscription ($35 USD per year) can access additional recording features. Recording provides an additional 14 days of programing data, longer live TV pausing and live TV rewinding, and recording that is only limited by the number of available tuners you have (multiple HDHomeRun tuners can be used on the same network) and the amount of DVR storage you have available (multiple DVR storage devices can be used on the same network).
 +    * All devices using the HDHomeRun app can set recordings, and all devices can access any recording made.
 +    * If multiple users are using the HDHomeRun app on the same channel, the DVR storage engine will distribute the load so that only one tuner is used for one channel. For example, if 3 people are all watching the same TV channel on their individual iPads, only one of the two CONNECT DUO tuners will be used, allowing the other tuner to record or view another channel.
 +    * Watching a previously-made recording will not tie up an HDHomeRun tuner.
