-====== The My.HDHomeRun.com page, explained ======
+====== HDHomeRun web interface ======
-The My.HDHomeRun.com page is full of content and links. The top level includes links to your Shop account, where you can manage service subscriptions and buy hardware, as well as a link to Support.
+To perform channel scans, hide channels, update firmware, and more, you can use the HDHomeRun's web page interface. While connected to the same local network as your HDHomeRun, open this link in a web browser:
-The next level is a series of 3 tabs: Live TV, Premium TV, and DVR. The Premium TV tab explains what channels are available for Premium TV at the moment and gives instructions for setting up Premium TV. The Live TV tab provides instructions for setting up Live TV on all major devices. And the DVR tab provides instructions for setting up DVR on all major devices.
+**http://hdhomerun.local**
-Below these tabs are a series of white boxes that list your available HDHomeRun products on the local network.
+<WRAP tip>NOTE: That address will go do the first HDHomeRun device found on your network. If you have more than one HDHomeRun device then you would use the "device ID" printed on the bottom of the unit instead of "hdhomerun" in the address. For example, if your device ID was 104FFFFF then you would go to http://104fffff.local</WRAP>

-{{:hdhrwhitebox.png?400|}}
+<WRAP indent>
-Each white box includes a title and a version number, indicating how up to date the software is its running. You may be occasionally asked to update your firmware. You can do so by clicking that version number and an update guide will show.
+{{ :channel_lineup.png?nolink&500|}}
+The channel lineup will allow you to force the HDHomeRun to rescan for channels, as well as mark channels as favorites or hide channels completely.
-If your White Box is for your DVR software, it will stop with a title and version number. If it is for an HDHomeRun hardware device, like a CONNECT or EXTEND, it will also list all available channels. If you click the channel list, you will be sent to a page that allows you to manually rescan your channels (usually not necessary). From here you can also favorite them by clicking the star once, which ensures the DVR will use that channel first when recording, or disable them by clicking the star twice, which will make them disappear from the HDHomeRun software and the DVR will completely ignore them.
+**To get to the channel lineup:**
+  - While connected to the same local network as your HDHomeRun, open this link in a web browser: http://hdhomerun.local
+    - <wrap tip>NOTE: That address will go do the first HDHomeRun device found on your network. If you have more than one HDHomeRun device then you would use the "device ID" printed on the bottom of the unit instead of "hdhomerun" in the address. For example, if your device ID was 104FFFFF then you would go to http://104fffff.local</wrap>
+  - Click on the channel list link (normally the second line, under the version number).
+\\
-Finally, if you have an EXTEND, you will have a link for Transcode Configuration. If you click that link, you can manually force the amount of transcoding that you see in your HDHomeRun app.
+**Rescanning channel list:** \\
+  * Click on the **"Detect Channels"** button to force a rescan. The HDHomeRun will also attempt to scan channels when it powers up, as well as doing periodic updates in the background to look for new channels.
+  * If your tuner supports more than one TV standard, you will be able to choose that before scanning.
+\\
+\\
+**Favorites or hiding channels:** \\
+  * Channels can be marked as favorites or hidden from the HDHomeRun app and from certain third party apps:
+    - Click the star icon next to a channel once to "favorite". Favorites will show up when using [[dlna_UPnP|UPnP/DLNA]], but are not currently used in the HDHomeRun app.
+    - Click the star icon a second time to turn it into an X to hide a channel.
+    - If you want to make the channel visible again, click on the icon a third time to take it back to the default (neither favored or hidden).
+<WRAP info center 80%>If you change the channel lineup and are using a [[:DVR]] storage device (with a HDHomeRun [[:DVR subscription]]), you may want to reboot the storage device in order to force it to update the new channel list, rather than waiting for the two to sync.</WRAP>
