| - | ==== HDHomeRun Simple ==== | ||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | |||
| - | This add-on can be found inside the default add-on repository. It provides a simple directory-listing style add-on for accessing HDHomeRun tuners on the network, as well as the DVR service. | ||
| - | |||

| - | ==== Built-in PVR add-on ==== | ||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | |||
| - | This "PVR" (Personal video recorder, another term for DVR - digital video recorder) add-on is built-in by default, but is not an official add-on maintained by Silicondust. It allows HDHomeRun tuners to show up in the native DVR/PVR interface and use the same windows and controls. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <wrap info>While this is a DVR/PVR add-on, it does not access the HDHomeRun DVR service. It only accesses live TV from an HDHomeRun.</wrap> | ||

| - | ==== zuki PVR add-on ==== | ||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | |||
| - | The "zuki" PVR/DVR add-on is similar to the build-in PVR/DVR add-on, in that it ties the HDHomeRun into the native DVR features. However, this add-on takes one step further and provides full access to the HDHomeRun [[DVR]] service, allowing the user to access recordings and pause live TV. | ||

| - | === UPnP/DLNA === | ||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | In addition to using video and PVR/DVR add-ons, the software can also act as a UPnP/DLNA client and access an HDHomeRun device that supports that feature. This is a very basic list-based view that is limited to just live TV, without any guide data, but can be used without installing anything extra. | ||

| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | === Third party DVR/PVR "backend" === | ||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | |||
| - | When an HDHomeRun is paired with a third party DVR software program, such as NextPVR, MythTV, or Tvheadend, the media center software can function as a client for these systems using the built-in PVR/DVR features. | ||
