Hardware
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.
Additional Tools and Software
Firmware
Firmware downloads: https://www.silicondust.com/support/tech/
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
Command Line Utility (hdhomerun_config)
Open a command prompt or terminal window and change directory to the HDHomeRun installation directory: “C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\”
The list of supported commands can be obtained by running hdhomerun_config without any parameters:
hdhomerun_config discover hdhomerun_config <id> get help hdhomerun_config <id> get <item> hdhomerun_config <id> set <item> <value> hdhomerun_config <id> scan <tuner> [<filename>] hdhomerun_config <id> save <tuner> <filename> hdhomerun_config <id> upgrade <filename>
Discover devices on the network
The discover command will find devices that are on the same subnet as the host:
hdhomerun_config discover
