+===== Watching live TV from an HDHomeRun =====

+See: **[[Third party applications]]**
+===== DVR storage software =====
+For installing the DVR storage software on a linux-based operating system, **see: [[DVR:Linux|Linux DVR]]**.

+===== HDHomeRun Config GTK instructions =====
+  - <wrapper>Extract both libhdhomerun and hdhomerun_config_gui to the same directory, e.g.:
+<code>directory/libhdhomerun
+directory/hdhomerun_config_gui</code></wrapper>
+  - <wrapper>From the hdhomerun_config_gui directory, run:
+<code>./configure
+make
+sudo make install</code></wrapper>
+===== Troubleshooting =====
+During the ./configure step, if you receive an error about gtk+-2.0 not being installed, you will need to install it using your distribution’s package management system. On most Debian-based distributions, including Ubuntu, use the following command:
+<code>sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev</code>
+If you receive an error stating hdhomerun_config_gui: error while loading shared libraries: libhdhomerun.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when attempting to run hdhomerun_config_gui, run the following:
+<code>sudo ldconfig</code>
+===== HDHomeRun Firmware =====
+For manual firmware download links, for use with the command line tool, **see: [[:Downloads#Firmware]]**.
