- Run a channel scan in HDHomeRun Setup utility after it is installed. Note that this is a different app than the HDHomeRun viewer app. A fresh channel scan is required even if it has been run previously, and the channels shown in HDHomeRun Setup are correct.
- Install and launch the latest HDHomeRun app for Android, iOS, Windows, XBox One, or Mac - it should detect the HDHomeRun tuner and show live TV.
Note that older HDHomeRun tuners cannot be used to make a recording with the HDHomeRun DVR software.
It is recommended that older products be used with the client connected via a wired Ethernet network.
