Hey guys, I have just returned to using a cable card with a tuning adapter after not using it for a year. It worked well for years. Now with a new card and tuning adapter and my W8.1 box, I managed to get some channels but am missing what I think are the SDV Channels like the new MGM PLUS (formerly...

I posted this thread under Windows Media Center, but perhaps someone here may have some idea about what could possibly be going on.

Read the first post in the thread for a summary of this really strange problem.
Bottom line: WMC is working fine; the HDHomeRun Primes are working fine; but MANY...

Hi all
I had a second prime laying around so today i plugged it in for fun but didnt see the second prime. Got me thinking maybe media center wont support two primes for 6 tuners. It didnt occur to me that there may be a limit. Is there?
Thanks guys

Getting ready to cut the cord and plan to replace my HDHomerun Prime Cablecard units with a Connect Quattro so I can record 4 OTA channels at once.

I have a question that hopefully someone who already has this can answer: Does the Connect Quattro show the signal strength for the channels it finds?...

Hi Everyone. Thinking about cutting the cord. I've been running two Ceton cable cards on WMC since 2011 and I'm fed up with basic TV pricing with Comcast.

My plan is to ditch my two Ceton InfiniTV 4 cards out of my Windows 7 WMC HTPC and switch to HD Homerun 2 or 4 tuner network tuner. I will...

General questions:
Has anyone had an older HDHR get bricked by loading the SiliD HDHR software on a Windows 10 PC?
Is there any way to do a firmware factory reset on these units?

Am in the process of building new PC for HTPC - got a new TV and would like to do 4K but the old Windows 8.1...

I have a HDHomeRun Prime that I watch TV through several Xbox 360s via Windows 8.1 WMC. It has worked well for several years, with minor issues. About once every 3 or 4 months, WMC would just loose the tuners. It would usually be a 15-20 minute ordeal to reinstall the tuners, but the system would...

Hi all-

I was a member at the old Green Button, I just got back into WMC after a couple of years. Thank you to the new forum owners for creating this new version!

Here is my problem: I built a fresh install of Windows 11 with WMC version 8.8.5 using an Athlon 64 X2-4400 motherboard with 4 GB RAM...

I did.

Was just curious if others here have. What few of us left that is...

Silicon Dust is poised to release a new quad tuner to replace the HDHR5-4K. It's called the HDHomerun Flex 4K. Just got my hands on one today. Seems identical to the Connect 4K except it sports a USB for DVR storage to disk. Working great so far.

Have a Ceton InfiniTV6 in my Windows 7 PC running WMC. Cox Cable just transitioned to transcoding all cable TV to 720p, so I want to add an OTA tuner to my system to allow OTA channels to be recorded alongside my Ceton doing its Cox thing. My OTA antenna is positioned as of now receives all local...

just notices that when I use the app on my iPad, it get color bars and screeching noises.
It is an older iPad, 5 years or so. , but my iPhone 6 works, as well as every other device like Xbox and PS3. - it stopped working last week circa 8/20

Good Morning Guys;

I want to upgrade the computer the DVR is connected. It is currently running Windows 7 32 bit. The service is running great. I want to build a Windows 2016 Server 64 bit as its new home, but I don't want to lose all of my existing recordings. CAn I just move all my recording to...

I don't have any cable TV, all I have is OTA via my hdhomerun two-tuner.
One of the old beige colored units.
Reinstalled Windows and did a WMC tuner setup and it thinks both tuners are QAM.
Re-ran a few times. Every time it either thinks both tuners are Clear QAM or it thinks one is QAM and the...

I read about these indoor over the air HD antennas and how they work with one TV only. So made me think, then they probably can't work with HD HomeRun 4 tunnel OTA boxes and with solutions that can potentially record and live tv multiple channels at a time. Am I incorrect in my thinking or does the...

Is anybody aware of a way to modify the Guide name on the HD home run setup tab? I am getting a lot of unknown ch information. and am trying to clean up the information on my emby server and it reads the information from this section. hd home run setup tab.PNG

I didn't see any mention of this here:

Could this work on WMC 8.1 with the right codecs? Or, could be the straw that breaks even the die-hard WMC user?

I am using an HDHomeRun Prime on a WMC Win 7 set up with tuning adapter and cable card on Spectrum in Austin TX. Once or twice a month, I lose the channel and it goes to the image below. If I tune away from the channel and then back, it resolve the issue. The big problem is when I am away from home...

I'm not sure if this is a tuner issue or a WMC issue...

Connect Quatro has 4 tuners, and I have my options in WMC set to record all episodes of some series with a 3 minute Start when possible lead in and 3 minute Stop when possible lead out...

If episodes on the same channel are airing back to...

I just installed an antenna and I hooked it up to my HD Homerun. I scanned and found a bunch of channels.

Two channels I should be able to get and really want to get, NBC and CW, were detected in the scan. When I click on them they work and the picture looks great. But when I try to tune to them...

Last night many of our digital broadcast stations changed frequencies ( zip 01701). I rescanned for the new channels everywhere: in WMC7, in the HDHomeRun Setup program, and on the CONNECTs themselves. All the stations were found everywhere.

BUT... when I tune WMC7 to one of the stations, it comes...

Several times over the years I've had an HDHR still light up, connect to network, , try to tune in WMC, front channel led comes on but no picture.
power supply will show ok with a meter when disconnected from the tuner, and since the tuner lights up and tries, its easy to assume the power supply...
