+==== Android DVR updating ====
 <WRAP indent>
+When using an Android device for the HDHomeRun [[DVR]] service, updates are handled through Google Play or by sideloading the Android app APK ([[https://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_view_android.apk|link for direct APK]]). When a DVR update is available it should happen automatically. Sometimes updates might take a few extra days, as Google needs to approve updates to the app before making them available.
+Unlike on other platforms, the Android version of the DVR software is built into the same HDHomeRun viewing app.
+<WRAP center important>Do not uninstall the Android version when using it for DVR, as doing this will delete all previously made recordings.</WRAP>

+==== PC, Mac, and NAS DVR updating ====
+<WRAP indent>
+To update the HDHomeRun DVR software when it is running on a Windows PC, Mac computer, or supported NAS, users can use the normal installation instructions for their specific device. No uninstallation is needed, just run through the normal installation steps on top of the old installation. All of your existing recordings will remain untouched:
