Setting up the HDHomeRun
Quick start guide
- One HDHomeRun can be accessed from the entire home network/wifi
- Each home can have multiple HDHomeRun units
- If you have multiple units then the HDHomeRun app will automatically consolidate them into one seamless channel list
1. Connect your HDHomeRun
Step 1
Connect your antenna.
- I have a working antenna and am happy with the reception I receive: Connect the HDHomeRun to the antenna using the coaxial connector. Hand tighten only. Then proceed to step 2.
- I need help with the antenna
- See our Antenna selection guide here
- See our Antenna alignment guide here
Step 2
Connect to your network or home router using the provided ethernet cable.
- If you can connect the HDHomeRun easily to your home router using a wired (ethernet) cable, do so and go to step 3
- If you cannot easily connect the HDHomeRun using a wired connection, please see here for ideas on how to connect it
- If you have connected the HDhomeRun to your home router, but are having issues, see our network troubleshooting guide here
Step 3
Connect the power adapter. The green ethernet light will power on.
2. Download the HDHomeRun app for your devices

The web interface
To perform channel scans, hide channels, update firmware, and more, use the HDHomeRun's web page interface. While connected to the same local network as your HDHomeRun, open this link in a web browser:
NOTE: That address will go do the first HDHomeRun device found on your network. If you have more than one HDHomeRun device, use the “device ID” printed on the bottom of the unit instead of “hdhomerun” in the address. For example, if your device ID was 104FFFFF then you would go to http://104fffff.local
