Setting up an HDHomeRun

This is an old revision of the document!

The HDHomeRun works by providing live TV to your home computer network from over-the-air TV broadcasts or from a cable TV provider (CableCARD only). This allows you to use any device on your network, such as phones, tablets, laptops, computers, set top boxes, and more, to watch live TV.

How the HDHomeRun connects with the rest of your network and devices (click to enlarge):
