+If you get an error message during the installation of the DVR then you may need to manually uninstall the DVR to reinstall it:
+Open Terminal and run the following:
+<code>
+sudo -s
+</code>
+Enter your password when prompted. Then copy/paste the following into the terminal and press return:
+<code>
+/bin/launchctl unload "/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.silicondust.dvr"
+/bin/rm "/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.silicondust.dvr"
+/usr/bin/dscl . -delete "/Groups/_HDHomeRun"
+/usr/bin/dscl . -delete "/Users/_HDHomeRun"
+/usr/sbin/pkgutil --forget "com.silicondust.dvr"
+/bin/rm -rf "/Users/HDHomeRun"
+</code>
+You may see some errors about things not being found; that is OK. After the last command is run, re-run the installer for the DVR.
