<lead>If you have a Roku device that is running Roku firmware version 9.0 or later, you can use the HDHomeRun Roku app to access your HDHomeRun tuner and playback DVR content.</lead>

Your Roku needs to have a reliable internet connection, either via wired ethernet or a strong wireless connection (preferably using 802.11ac on a 5GHz bandwidth). The app does not work outside of your home network, and the Roku needs to be connected to the same local network as HDHomeRun tuner.

====ATSC 3.0====
<WRAP indent>
To receive most ATSC 3.0 broadcasts you will need a Roku device that supports the AC-4 audio codec and the HEVC video codec. DRM-restricted channel support is being worked on and is not yet supported.

===== How to install the HDHomeRun Roku Channel =====
To install simply search for the HDHomeRun Channel on your Roku and install it there, or use the Roku website while logged in ([[https://channelstore.roku.com/details/297903/hdhomerun|app link]]).

===== Can't hear audio? =====
To hear audio, you need a TV, AV receiver, or soundbar that can decode Dolby Digital or AC3 audio over HDMI. Most modern TVs can do this, though we’ve noticed a few Samsung TVs cannot. All Roku televisions should be able to play audio without any trouble.

**Roku audio settings:**
  - Go to the **Roku home screen**
  - Then navigate to **"Settings"** -> **"Audio"**
  - Select **"Streaming audio format"** and change it to **"Dolby"**
  - Go back to **Audio** and select **"Digital output format"**
  - and change **"Digital output format"** mode to **"Custom" → "Dolby" → "Dolby Digital"**

<wrap tip>If you are still having issues: While watching live TV in the HDHomeRun app, press the ** * ** button and see if your **"Volume mode"** is set to **"off"** (this might not always be required, depending on the Roku model)</wrap>
