How to buy and activate an HDHomeRun DVR subscription
A DVR subscription can be purchased at our online shop and costs $35 per year. If you are a new customer, your first two months of service are free. If you've bought a SCRIBE or SERVIO device then you will get a year of service along with the hardware, either as a new customer or added to your existing service. The subscription service includes 14 days of guide data. The subscription also keeps track of your upcoming recording “tasks”, helps prevents duplicate recordings, prevents recording programs that you've already watched and wanted deleted, and helps orchestrate all of your DVR storage devices.
1) Buying DVR service and registering an account

When starting a new subscription you will not be charged for two months. This page should note when your first credit card charge will be, which will be two months from your original order date. From then on, your subscription will automatically renew every year unless you cancel the automatic renewal.
