+To make sure the DVR starts up whenever the Synology reboots, a task must be set up:
+  - Open the Control Panel
+  - Click on "Task Scheduler"
+  - Go to the "Create" menu and select "Triggered Task -> User-defined script"
+  - The "Event" field should already default to "boot-up"
+  - Check the "Enabled" checkmark box and give the task a name (for example, "HDHomeRun DVR startup")
+  - Click on the "Task Settings" tab
+  - Under "Run command" paste the following: <code>#!/bin/bash
+/volume1/HDHomeRun/hdhomerun_record start  --conf /volume1/HDHomeRun/hdhomerun.conf</code> <wrap tip>If necessary, change "volume1" to the volume pool that you are using on your Synology NAS.</wrap>
+  - Click "Okay" and make sure your new task is enabled, and click "Save" if the button is not grayed out.
+  - and you're done!

-**Note:** The current release of the NAS install program will not automatically start the DVR storage software if power is lost or the system reboots. You will need to run the NAS Install program again to restart the DVR storage software.
