-<​lead>​**Local DVR storage** is where your recordings will be saved. Our DVR doesn'​t use "the cloud" or remote locations for storing programs, but instead keeps local copies on your home network, allowing you to store them as long as you wish. Your storage device can be an HDHomeRun SCRIBE or SERVIO, a PC, a Mac, a NAS, or an Android TV set top box like an NVIDIA Shield. Because the DVR storage device handles a lot of video data, we strongly recommend using a wired ethernet connection for your recording device, just like you would with an HDHomeRun tuner.  +<​lead>​**Local DVR storage** is where your recordings will be saved.

You may add more storage devices if you need additional storage, additional multi-recording capabilities,​ or simply want more redundancy in your set up. </​lead>​+

-There are two basic options when it comes to using an HDHomeRun-branded ​DVR storage ​device:+The HDHomeRun FLEX, SCRIBE, and SERVIO models ​are able to act as DVR storage ​devices:
  
-  * **[[:SCRIBE|HDHomeRun ​SCRIBE]]** - (as a DUO/2-tuner or QUATRO/4-tuner) ​includes both the tuning hardware of a normal HDHomeRun device along with an internal hard drive and the DVR storage software. In addition to recording from its own internal tuners, the SCRIBE can also record from other HDHomeRun devices on your network. This combination unit can be a good starting point for new users, or be used to expand an existing HDHomeRun device cluster when you want to add tuners and DVR storage at the same time.+  * **[[:FLEX|HDHomeRun ​FLEX]]** - The HDHomeRun FLEX has a USB port that will allow a customer to add their own USB hard drive. With a hard drive, the FLEX will operate the same as a SCRIBE model, with both tuning and DVR handled by that unit. While the SCRIBE comes with one year of DVR service, the FLEX requires a separate DVR service purchase. <callout type="​info">​**Setting up the USB hard drive on the FLEX:** 
 +      - Plug a USB hard drive into the FLEX's USB port 
 +      - In a web browser go to http://​hdhomerun.local 
 +        ​NOTE: That address will go do the first HDHomeRun device found on your network. If you have more than one HDHomeRun device, use the "​device ID" printed on the bottom of the unit instead of "​hdhomerun"​ in the address. For example, if your device ID was 104FFFFF then you would go to http://​104fffff.local 
 +      ​Then click the "​Format"​ button. That will erase and format the hard drive for recordings

 +  * **[[:​SCRIBE|HDHomeRun SCRIBE]]** - The HDHomeRun SCRIBE ​includes both the tuning hardware of a normal HDHomeRun device along with an internal hard drive and the DVR storage software. In addition to recording from its own internal tuners, the SCRIBE can also record from other HDHomeRun devices on your network. This combination unit can be a good starting point for new users, or be used to expand an existing HDHomeRun device cluster when you want to add tuners and DVR storage at the same time.
  
   * **[[:​SERVIO|HDHomeRun SERVIO]]** - For users who already have existing HDHomeRun tuners, or who want to add more storage space and/or redundancy to their DVR system, the SERVIO contains a large hard drive and runs our DVR storage software. ​   * **[[:​SERVIO|HDHomeRun SERVIO]]** - For users who already have existing HDHomeRun tuners, or who want to add more storage space and/or redundancy to their DVR system, the SERVIO contains a large hard drive and runs our DVR storage software. ​
- 
-Both SCRIBE and SERVIO are self-contained DVR storage devices, and run a full version of the DVR software. They do not require an additional PC or NAS to operate.
