+===== Live TV and DVR viewing-only notice =====
-<WRAP important 100%>HDHomeRun beta software lets customers try out software before it has been released, and give feedback on it. Since beta software has not yet been officially released, it may contain bugs or otherwise not function properly. Helping us test beta software helps us to make the official release of the software even better.
+<WRAP important 100%>
-  * Only live over the air TV is supported at present. The HDHomeRun PRIME is not currently officially supported in this release, but we are working to add support, and it likely will work with most cable providers outside of Comcast, as long as the channels are not DRM protected.
+  * The HDHomeRun PRIME is not supported.
-  * DVR support has not yet been added.
+  * DVR playback is available on Roku devices. However, DVR scheduling and recording must be done on another device, such as an iOS mobile device, Android device, or PC.
   * To hear audio, you need a TV, AV receiver, or soundbar that can decode Dolby Digital or AC3 audio over HDMI. Most modern TVs can do this, though we’ve noticed a few Samsung TVs cannot. All Roku televisions should be able to play audio without any trouble.

+===== How to install the HDHomeRun Roku Channel =====
-As this is a beta app, you have to go through a small process to set things up.
+To install simply search for the HDHomeRun Channel on your Roku and install it there, or use the Roku website while logged in ([[https://channelstore.roku.com/details/297903/hdhomerun|app link]]).
-<panel type="success" title="Step 1"><image shape="thumbnail">{{ :mydotroku_li.jpg?direct&600|}}</image>Visit my.roku.com, log in to your Roku account, and select Add Channel with a code.</panel>
+If you want to make use of the DVR Playback services, you will currently need to update your DVR Firmware to the most recent beta, which can be found on the [[downloads#beta_software|Beta Downloads]] page.
-<panel type="success" title="Step 2"><image shape="thumbnail">{{ :rokuchannelaccess.jpg?direct&600|}}</image>Then enter the HDHomeRun channel access code: **N6MN9QC**</panel>
