-==== Activating service for a new customer ==== 
-  * HDHomeRun SCRIBE and HDHomeRun SERVIO units come with a year of included DVR service. DVR service starts when the device is connected to the internet by the customer, automatically. No activation code or account is necessary. A temporary account automatically gets registered when the SCRIBE or SERVIO goes online. We are working on making it so that the HDHomeRun app will warn people if the DVR service is getting close to expiring, allowing them to extend service by purchasing additional years through https://shop.silicondust.com . 
- 
- 
-==== Amending service from a SCRIBE/SERVIO to an existing account ==== 
-  * When the year of DVR service from a SCRIBE or SERVIO is associated with an existing DVR account, the year will be amended to that account. 
-  * If you have the HDHomeRun devices used for your original DVR set up (as in, you have not replaced any tuner hardware), then simply opening up the HDHomeRun app should prompt an "Account Information" screen that will link your new SCRIBE or SERVIO to the account. Pressing "Continue" on this screen is all you need to do.  
-  * Alternatively, you can also use the activation link you received when you purchased DVR service, which will associate the SCRIBE or SERVIO to your existing DVR account. Be sure to open the link while connected to the same local network as your SCRIBE or SERVIO. If you no longer have your activation link, please **[[:support ticket|contact support]]** and we will gladly look that information up for you.
