-This is to configure your device. You can update the latest firmware, set your preferences, and activate your **[[DVR|DVR service]]** from here.
+To perform channel scans, hide channels, update firmware, and more, use the HDHomeRun's web page interface. While connected to the same local network as your HDHomeRun, open this link in a web browser:
-<WRAP center round info 80%>
+**http://hdhomerun.local**
-Some web browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, do not work correctly with the my.hdhomerun.com web page. You may need to use a browser such as **[[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/|FireFox]]** or **[[https://www.google.com/chrome/|Chrome]]** to use the site.
+<wrap tip>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</wrap>
