 ====== HDHomeRun DVR ======
-===== How does it work =====
+<lead>The HDHomeRun DVR system consists of four main components:\\
-The HDHomeRun DVR system consists of three main components, 1), one or more HDHomeRun network tuner(s), 2) the DVR subscription, 3) the local DVR storage.

-  * **A supported HDHomeRun Network tuner**

+  - **[[#dvr_storage_device|Local DVR storage]]**
+  - **[[#using_dvr_in_the_hdhomerun_app|Playback device that runs the HDHomeRun app]]**
+</lead>
-  * **DVR subscription** [[https://shop.silicondust.com|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. HDHomeRun network tuner =====
+<WRAP indent>
-  * **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 a 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.
+You will need one of the following supported HDHomeRun models to receive TV broadcasts:

-Only one storage device is needed to serve your entire network. All apps/clients on your network will be able to set new recordings and access previous recordings. You may add more if you need additional storage, additional multi-recording capabilities, or simply want more redundancy in your set up.

+===== 2. DVR Subscription =====

-===== SiliconDust HDHomeRun DVR storage devices ====
+A **[[DVR:activation|DVR subscription]]** can be purchased at our online shop and costs $35 per year. 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.
-There are two basic options when it comes to using an HDHomeRun-branded DVR storage device:
-  * **[[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.
+</WRAP>
-  * **[[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.
+===== 3. DVR storage device =====
+<WRAP indent>
+<btn type="success" size="lg" icon="fa fa-book">[[DVR:Storage|Click here for our guide on selecting and setting up a DVR storage device]]</btn>
+**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 the HDHomeRun **[[FLEX]]**, **[[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.
