NAME
hdhomerun_config - A utility used for maintaining and controlling a
Silicon Dust HDHomeRun
SYNOPSIS
hdhomerun_config <id> command [options]
DESCRIPTION
The HDHomeRun is a networked digital television receiver with two
tuners. It can tune QAM64, QAM128, QAM256, or 8VSB television streams.
It is most useful in the United States where QAM is very commonly used
for cable transmission and 8VSB (ATSC) for Over The Air television
transmission.
This utility can be used to control the HDHomeRun, update it, and query
information about it.
The only requirement for the utility is that the HDHomeRun be hooked up
on the same subnet as the computer peforming the actions. The
HDHomeRun will receive an address via DHCP, so if static addressing is
in use on the network instead, the device will not function.
FEATURES
1) Multiple tuners. For those nights that several primetime shows are
on at the same time, you won’t need to worry.
2) QAM & OTA support. Both tuners can be set as either QAM or OTA.
This way if only a few channels are available by one variety, but you
would still like those channels, each tuner can be used for the
different connections.
3) Networked. The HDHomeRun can be accessed by any computer on the
local network by using VLC, MythTV, or SageTV.
4) Upgradable. Silicon Dust regularly releases firmware updates for
the HDHomeRun. These can be used to add support for upcoming recording
standards, changing frequencies, or stability.
