 +When using the TECH3-CC or TECH4 and later, the consumer [[:app|HDHomeRun app]] can be used, allowing the TECH to behave as a consumer HDHomeRun unit. To enable this the TECH will need to sync with the HDHomeRun guide server on the internet:
 +
 +  - Access the web interface of the TECH unit //(for example, <nowiki>http://192.168.0.49</nowiki> )//
 +  - Check the option **"Sync with guide server"**
 +  - All other features of the TECH can still be used in this mode.
