 ====== HDHomeRun EXTEND ======
 <lead>The HDHomeRun EXTEND is similar to an HDHomeRun CONNECT DUO, but with the addition of powerful transcoding capabilities. It contains two internal tuners and can transcode both at the same time. Transcoding is a process where video is converted from one format to another, which allows the EXTEND to receive large "MPEG2" video broadcasts and convert them into smaller "h.264" video streams. These smaller video streams can help in situations where wifi or other network performance is a concern, and can be used to make smaller video file sizes when recording broadcast content.</lead>
-\\
 The HDHomeRun EXTEND originally came with an all-plastic case and a small cooling fan. It has since been updated to use an all-metal case, which is used to cool the unit's electronics and remove the need for an internal fan.

+<WRAP indent>
 <btn type="success" size="xs" icon="fa fa-chevron-right">[[:FAQ|See also: other FAQ listings]]</btn>
 ==== Network LED on HDHomeRun is blinking red ====
+<WRAP indent>
 This indicates that the HDHomeRun does not have a network connection. Please try a different network cable and port on your switch/router. If the issue persists, please open a **[[:trouble ticket]]**.
+</WRAP>
 ==== Network LED on HDHomeRun is blinking green ====
+<WRAP indent>
 This indicates that the HDHomeRun has a network connection but is not getting an IP address from your router. Check to make sure that the DHCP function is enabled on your router, and that either the allowed devices/access control/MAC filtering function on the router is disabled, or that the HDHomeRun is on the allowed list.

-==== Fan does not turn off at power-up ====
+==== Fan does not turn off at power-up (plastic case model only) ====
+<WRAP indent>
 The fan on the HDHomeRun Extend should turn off within 20-30 seconds of power-up. If yours does not, this indicates a hardware issue with your device. Please open a **[[:trouble ticket]]**.
+</WRAP>
 ==== Fan does not turn on (plastic case model only) ====
+<WRAP indent>
 The fan on the HDHomeRun EXTEND (gray plastic case model only) should turn on at power-up and when the internal temperature dictates it. If the fan on your device does not power on, it may no longer be functional. We offer conversion to the new fanless metal case model for a fee. Please open a **[[:trouble ticket]]** for more information.
