Early HDHomeRun SERVIO units need to use a PC, Mac, or Linux computer to complete their first firmware update. After that, future firmware updates can be made through the [[:my.hdhomerun.com]] web site.

The HDHomeRun Setup application for Windows will look for and update the firmware of all HDHomeRun devices on your local network.

  - Download the latest version of the Windows Setup software: https://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_windows.exe
      - <wrap info>This is different from the Windows 10 app that allows you to view TV.</wrap>
  - Run through the installer steps as you would for any other program.
  - At the end of the installation, the installer will ask if you want to set up your HDHomeRun devices. This simply opens up the HDHomeRun Setup application. You can say yes to this prompt, or use the Start menu to open up the HDHomeRun Setup application.
  - The HDHomeRun Setup application will silently update the firmware on all HDHomeRun devices it finds. Give it a minute or two before closing the program, and make sure it lists your HDHomeRun SERVIO, to confirm that it was able to find it.

**Done:** Your HDHomeRun units should now be up to date. Go to http://my.hdhomerun.com to check to see if there are green check marks by the version numbers for your devices.

    * If you've never set a password on your mac then just hit enter/return.
  - The Installer will give a successful message, while at the same time opening the Mac's **Terminal** program. **Don't close this window yet**, and give it a moment to finish. When the Terminal process is complete, it will print out **[Process completed]**, and it will be safe to close the Terminal application.
  - If you haven't already done so, you can also press **Close** on the installer itself. This will prompt the installer to ask if you want to delete the HDHomeRun install file or safe it for later. You can safely **delete** the installer file.
