<btn type="success" size="lg" icon="fa fa-book">[[DVR:activation|Click here for our guide on DVR subscriptions]]</btn>

The HDHomeRun DVR service has two basic "tiers" of service:

====Free for all customers====
<WRAP indent>

  * "**[[:app:recording#recording_tasks|Record this airing]]**" (Free for all customers as of 2025-02-11)- selecting a program from the guide/live TV to record that specific episode/movie/event on that specific date and time.

  * Extended live TV buffer

  * Tuner sharing

  * +3 / -3 days of grid guide data - You can see 3 days into the future of TV programming, as well as the last 3 days of data

  * Account creation not required - If no account is associated with your HDHomeRun unit, an automatic email-less account is auto-generated for your HDHomeRun unit to keep track of DVR tasks. You can also log in to an expired DVR account so that your tasks stay with you if you move between paid and free tiers.

<WRAP indent>
  * [[:DVR:activation|$35 USD per year]]

  * "**[[:app:recording#recording_tasks|Auto record]]**" - Setting up a series to automatically record, such as all episodes of a given TV show, sports team, news program, etc.

===== 3. DVR storage device =====
<WRAP indent>
<btn type="success" size="lg" icon="fa fa-book">[[DVR:Storage|Click here for our guide on selecting and setting up a DVR storage device]]</btn>

**Local DVR storage** is where your recordings will be saved. Our DVR doesn't use "the cloud" or remote locations for storing programs, but instead keeps local copies on your home network, allowing you to store them as long as you wish. Your storage device can be a USB hard drive connected to the HDHomeRun **[[FLEX]]**, a PC, a Mac, or a NAS. Because the DVR storage device handles a lot of video data, we strongly recommend using a wired ethernet connection for your recording device, just like you would with the HDHomeRun tuner.
 
<WRAP center info>
Only one storage device is needed to serve your entire network. All apps/clients on your network will be able to set new recordings and access previous recordings. You may add more if you need additional storage, additional multi-recording capabilities, or simply want more redundancy in your set up.
