+<lead>The HDHomeRun app is the main way to access live TV from your HDHomeRun tuner, and to set and watch recordings from your HDHomeRun DVR subscription. Our app is available for Android, Fire TV, iOS, Mac OS, Windows, and Xbox One.</lead>
+<WRAP clear/>
-===== LIVE TV tab/view ====
+  * **Live TV -** All HDHomeRun customers have free access to our app, which includes program summaries, 24 hours of future program data, searching for current and upcoming programs, pausing live TV (up to 60m, req 2+GB RAM), and rewinding live TV (up to 5m, req 2+GB RAM).
-{{:live_tv.png?direct&600|}}
-==== Basic controls ====
+  * **[[:DVR|Recording]] -** Customers with a DVR subscription ($35 USD per year) can access additional recording features. Recording provides an additional 14 days of programing data, longer live TV pausing and live TV rewinding, and recording that is only limited by the number of available tuners you have (multiple HDHomeRun tuners can be used on the same network) and the amount of DVR storage you have available (multiple DVR storage devices can be used on the same network).
-  - Launch the HDHomeRun app to start watching TV
+    * All devices using the HDHomeRun app can set recordings, and all devices can access any recording made.
-  - Click or tab on the screen (or press the select button on a remote) to bring up the user interface
+    * If multiple users are using the HDHomeRun app on the same channel, the DVR storage engine will distribute the load so that only one tuner is used for one channel. For example, if 3 people are all watching the same TV channel on their individual iPads, only one of the two CONNECT DUO tuners will be used, allowing the other tuner to record or view another channel.
-  - Channel Slice – select a channel on the channel list, use the left/right arrows or drag the channel to the left to enable Channel Slice. Non-DVR subscribers will have access to 24 hours of guide data. DVR subscribers will have access to 14 days.
+    * Watching a previously-made recording will not tie up an HDHomeRun tuner.
-  - DVR Subscribers – click the DVR Menu icon on the far right of the on-screen-display (or press Back/Escape) to get to the DVR main menu.
