Scan for channels
The HDHomeRun will attempt to automatically scan for channels the first time it is connected to power, and will occasionally do a background scan every few days, but you may still need to run an initial channel scan.
- Scan for channels using the HDHomeRun app:
- Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of the “Live / Guide / Recorded / Discover / Tasks” screen
- Select “Channels”
- Select “Scan Channels”
- Wait for the scan to complete
- Scan for channels using the web interface:
- In a web browser that is on the same local network as the HDHomeRun (your PC, phone, tablet, etc), go to this address: http://hdhomerun.local/lineup.html
- Click on “Detect Channels”
- You can also hide or “Favorite” channels from this page. Click the gray star next to a channel number once to make it a “Favorite”, then click it again to “Blacklist” the channel from the HDHomeRun app. Click again if you wish to return a channel to the default gray star (no setting).
