 If the network LED is solid green, then the HDHomeRun has an address. If your PC is using a wireless connection, make sure that you are on the primary network and not a guest network (guest networks typically block access to local devices on the network). If you are on the main wireless network, please instead try a wired connection. If the wired connection works but wireless does not, then the most likely cause is your router blocking certain kinds of network traffic. Check the router’s configuration for anything with the word broadcast in it, or anything like wireless partition/​isolation/​segmentation,​ and try toggling those options. If you are on a wired connection and it is still not discovered, if you have the PC configured to use a static IP address, check to make sure that the subnet mask entered exactly matches what the router is assigning via DHCP. Any mismatch, no matter how small, can prevent discovery of the device from working. If your PC has any VPN software installed, make sure you are not connected to the VPN, and make sure any firewall the VPN may contain is disabled. If the network LED is solid green, then the HDHomeRun has an address.

-==== HDHomeRun QuickTV - channels not present in list, or channel scan required message ==== 
-<WRAP indent> 
- 
-The channel list in QuickTV is based on the channel names entered in HDHomeRun Setup. If a channel does not have a name entered, it will not show in the list. If no channels have names entered, it will report that a channel scan is required. Simply go into HDHomeRun Setup and make sure all the channels that you want to access have names entered, and if you want, numbers.

-==== HDHomeRun app - no audio on Windows 7 ==== 
-<WRAP indent> 
- 
-The audio decoder included with Windows 7 has limited functionality when used outside of Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player. The HDHomeRun app will utilize decoders from VLC if it is installed on the PC, and that typically provides better results.

 Windows 8 does not include an MPEG2 video decoder, which is needed in order to see TV. You either need to add Windows Media Center, which includes Microsoft’s decoder, or else install a separate decoder. The app will use any MPEG2 decoders installed on the system, including those provided by VLC. Windows 8 does not include an MPEG2 video decoder, which is needed in order to see TV.

-==== HDHomeRun app (Win7/8.1) - video freezes on first frame ==== 
-<WRAP indent> 
- 
-This is typically caused by one of two programs installed on the PC. Either the ffdshow audio decoder, or DirectVobSub. If ffdshow is installed, go into the Audio decoder configuration program (search for it on the Start menu/​screen),​ click on Mixer on the left side, set Output speakers configuration to 2/0/0 – stereo, then check the box next to Mixer on the left side, and click OK. Restart QuickTV and see if it plays normally. 
- 
-If DirectVobSub is installed, it will show up in the system tray or hidden icons area (in the bottom corner next to the clock) as an icon labeled VobSub or DirectVobSub. Double click on that, locate the Loading option, set to Do not load and click OK. Restart QuickTV and try again.
