SiliconDust TECH manual

These pages consolidates documentation relating to the commercial-grade TECH product line from SiliconDust.

Power

All devices should be used with the included power supply (dual-tuner models) or power cable (HDRack models).

Ethernet

Connect the Ethernet port(s) to a network switch. On models with multiple ports, all ports must be connected in order for all tuners to be accessible. A single port can be directly connected to the network interface on a PC to access that specific device. All ports are auto-crossover so a standard Ethernet cable can be used.

Firmware

Windows

Download and install the latest Windows release of the HDHomeRun software: https://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_tech_windows.exe

The HDHomeRun Setup wizard is optional.

When the installation process is complete it is recommended that the HDHomeRun program directory be added to the PATH so that the hdhomerun_config utility can be run from a cmd prompt. The default program directory is “C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\”

Linux

Download and extract the libhdhomerun archive.

Run “make” to compile hdhomerun_config (systems that use a non-GNU make by default may need to install and use “gmake” instead).

Copy hdhomerun_config to /usr/local/bin
