 ==== Leftmost LED on HDHomeRun is blinking green ====

 This indicates that the HDHomeRun has a network connection but is not getting an IP address from your router. Check to make sure that the DHCP function is enabled on your router, and that either the allowed devices/access control/MAC filtering function on the router is disabled, or that the HDHomeRun is on the allowed list.
+</WRAP>
 ==== Second from left LED on HDHomeRun is blinking green ====
+<WRAP indent>
 This indicates that either the CableCARD is not initializing correctly, or is not getting an out of band connection. Check to make sure that signal is present on the cable line you are using. Also check the CableCARD Menu screen on the HDHomeRun PRIME’s web page and make sure that the card information is present, and that the Card Authentication shows “success”. If both of these are true, please do the following:

 Go to the web page for your HDHomeRun device (click on one of the tuner numbers on the Tuners tab in HDHomeRun Setup), then click on CableCARD Menu. Make sure that CableCARD Validation shows success. If it shows none, contact your cable provider, as the card must be validated in order for copy-protected channels to be received.

 ==== CableCARD Validation shows none, but some encrypted channels are accessible ====
+<WRAP indent>
 Card validation is entirely a function of the cable provider sending the correct message to the CableCARD. The most common cause of problems is simply typing in the wrong numbers. Ask the support representatives from your provider to read back the numbers entered in their system, and make sure they match what you see.

 If you are using a Cisco CableCARD, the host ID number must be entered into the cable provider’s system. One or more of the other numbers may also be needed, depending on the provider.

 If the card is validated and the log shows just a single line that says not-subscribed, then the card does not have the correct channel packages added to it. Contact your cable provider.

 ==== Leftmost LED on HDHomeRun is solid red ====
+<WRAP indent>
 This indicates that the HDHomeRun does not have a network connection. Please try a different network cable and port on your switch/router. If the issue persists, please open a **[[:support ticket]]**.

 ==== Middle of 3 tuner LEDs is blinking, no other LEDs lit ====
+<WRAP indent>
 This indicates a hardware issue with your HDHomeRun. Please open a **[[:support ticket]]**.

 ==== CableCARD information is missing ====
+<WRAP indent>
 Go to the web page for your HDHomeRun device (click on one of the tuner numbers on the Tuners tab in HDHomeRun Setup), then click on CableCARD Menu. If the Card Manufacturer, Card Authentication, and Card Validation lines all show as none, this indicates that the CableCARD is not in a usable state. The most common cause of this would be if the card is not inserted correctly. The card should be inserted with the colored label facing up, and the 68 pin connector going in to the HDHomeRun. It will require a slight amount of force to seat the card in the socket. Approximately half an inch of the CableCARD will remain outside of the HDHomeRun when fully inserted.

 If the card information is still missing and you have verified that the card is inserted correctly, try another CableCARD.

 The logs may show 2 lines like this, particularly when working with the cable provider to get the CableCARD set up:

 This is not necessarily an error. This is simply how the CableCARD asks for itself to be rebooted, which is often necessary for changes made by the cable provider to take effect. You do not need to call your cable provider, as it is normal to see this when they are working with the card, or if a firmware update is done to the card.

 This is completely normal. Cisco cards are designed to do this when they first boot up. It does not indicate any kind of problem. Simply disregard the message.
