I had the prime over a year ago and switched to ceton because I have really bad signal quality for cable at my house. When I had the prime, I can never seem to watch the popular channels during peak hours. For example, every Sunday the signal for the channel for NFL on the basic channels will...

I have been using Media Center since the XP days and am now on Windows 8. I have 2 Avermedia USB tuners connected to Comcast cable with no Cable Card. I'm considering switching my internet to Verizon Fios. I have 5 TVs so if I switch to FIOS I would like to avoid paying for 5 set top boxes. I am...

I'm new to this scene and am trying to decide if I should buy the HDHomeRun Prime vs. a CETON Infnitv 6 ETH. I understand the Prime only has 3 tuners vs. 6 tuners in the Infinitv 6 but figure if I really need 6 tuners then I can buy two HDHomeRun Primes (still costs less than one Infinitv 6)....

Homerundual LEDs what do they indicate?

I think I’ve figured out that when the left LED is flashing green the PC is asleep
when the left LED is red the PC is powered off.

When both left and green LEDs are flashing or just on both tuners are being used.

When the left LED is flashing green it...

Cant get silicon dust HR dual to setup? tried a dozen times.

I’ve downloaded and installed the software for the HDHR. However when I do the W7MC TV signal setup for antenna TV W7MC recognizes other tuners but just refuses to setup (message reads other tuners were detected but will not be...

Hi there,

I'm after some information, my Hauppauge twin tuner just died after 7 or 8 year, so I’m looking at replacement. In looking around I have come across the HD Homerun Plus (HDTC-2EU).
I run WMC 8.1 so it would need to work for it which looking through the documentation it will. My questions...

Can I run two Primes with cable cards on one MediaCenter PC?

I have a perplexing problem. I have been in the process of moving to a new place over the last week. At the old place, I had two HDHR Prime's, and two HDHR-3US (dual ATSC/QAM tuners that were connected to an outdoor antenna).

At the new place, I won't have an antenna (at least not for now... I may...

Newegg just released the new HDHR4-2US (DUAL).

Just ordered!

I have cable service from Charter which recently went to 100% digital in my area (Atlanta). At that time I just had the InfiniTV 4 PCIe and I notice that there were a couple channels on my cable box that did not show up in Media Center. Since they were channels I usually didn't watch, I did not...

Greetings All
Newbie here, I currently have an HDHR Prime with a CableCard, I just bought a 2nd one I'd like to setup for QAM channels. My cable provider is FIOS which seems to have quite a few QAM channels (which I can tune from a Hauppaug tuner). How do I setup the 2nd HDHR Prime without...

Setting up a home run dual

I’ve currently got my HR dual setup and working fine I had to have a internet connection to establish the HR as a tuner I also have a Hauppauge 1800 setup w/ same internet connection.

If I move the HTPC to another location and setup a couple of Hauppauge tuners then...

I'm thinking of cutting the cord as the title implies and I'd like to get feedback on my potential setup.

Hi guys -

For the last week or so we've been seeing increased choppiness while watching TV. I started monitoring the Prime's internal page and looking at tuner status, and I noticed the signal quality bouncing around, despite very good signal strength (~9 dB). It just kind of came and went a few...

I have a single OTA antenna with a single coax cable going into a splitter. Off that splitter I have an Elgato SiliconDust HD HOMERUN Network Dual Tuner for HDTV. I can watch the output from my Mac or WMC. In Mac I can see our NBC affiliate on 5.1 and 5.2. At best on the WMC, it goes in and out and...

I have 3x SDHR Duals in the system (along with InifniTV6 ETH). Lately, some of the recordings show tearing and missing sound for a second here and there, but consistently. Initially, I thought it was just the OTA signal or the antenna, but upon further introversion, it appears all of the faulty...

I think I know the answer but I have to be sure. After setting up my cablecard in the hd prime, activated it through time warner cable, now on WMC I can only watch a few cable channels, mostly the lower ones.It says channel is temporarily unavailable but it is all the time unavailable. Is this...

I just replaced my motherboard and cpu. and reinstalled windows 7 while I was at it.

My issue is when I do a ch scan on my qam tuner It is not finding any local ch and the mapping that silicon dust has is incorrect or it is for off air only not what comes from Cox cable. I remember they used to...

With a steady stream of beta releases after DLNA support was added in early 2013, it was about time to see an update to the stable release.

I've been following the beta releases and updating multiple machines along the way. I'm planning to take more of a set it and forget it approach with this...

I have had an InfiniTV4 running on my media center for about a month and have had quite a few issues with the Subscription Required message popping up. So, I thought I'd give the HDHRP a shot. It is working... almost flawlessly. for some reason, I can't tune in channel 71, which in my area is The...

Ok, so since I have two primes I have no need for my HDHR Dual. So I decided to try and use it to view my security cameras in 7MC.

I have tried a channel modulator which outputs on the old channel 3, I have a digital tv which picks up this on a channel scan just fine. The dual won't see the it...

I currently have a rather old media center running Win 7 that I built that has an NVidia TV Tuner and an older HDHomeRun that just gets what were unscrambled HDTV channels. Last fall the HD channels were scrambled but it is interesting I cannot watch them live but can record them. My analog...

SD home run dual rattles inside it's case is this normal?

the internal parts are not secure to case there is definitly something loose in there.

HDHOMERUN has a new firmware out. Just spreading the news.... I will wait for some feed back before I apply it.

Planning on adding a SiliconDust HDHomeRun DUAL w/ a Huagpage 1800 (PCI) & 950Q (USB)

Plan is to connect antenna to HR then HR to PC w/ supplied cat/5 cable (no router yet). Hopefully I'll have four OTA available HTPC tuners.

When I installed the 1800 & the 950Q I just plugged them in and W7MC...

I am a long long time hdhomerun user and can inherit a HDHR Prime from a friend who no longer needs his. I have no plan to get a cable card, but wondering are what its capabilities as a clear qam tuner without the card?

Does it work as a clear qam tuner?
If it does, how many tuners does it provide...

My HTPC is a WMC server only. I only use the word server loosely for you purest out there ;). The OS is Windows 7 Pro 64bit. It is a headless box who only has network access uses a couple Primes and serves two Ceton Echos and saves video . I access it through remote desktop unless I have to fix...

I have an HDHR3-US with Surewest cable in Kansas City area. I am not doing any OTA, the HDHR is fed from my coax and connected to my home network. I have one TV with a Surewest supplied DVR and a couple of TV's without cable boxes that I did channel scans on to pick up clear QAM cable channels....

Silicondust has a picture of a device titled 'Generation Four' no real info attached. Is this the device we have been waiting for? Doing the mpeg4 etc..?

I was looking at this:

I added another TV/xbox into the gameroom and now the wireless n setup seems to be shuddering. It wasn't that bad before, but now it seems to be failing. The new setup is in a place where I don't think I will be able to run ethernet to, but I thought that a powerline...

Just activated my FIOS CC3 card with my HDHR Prime tuner. All channels seem to work fine through WMC (win 8) and Quick view. BUT the picture is 4:3 aspect and resolution is SD. I'm viewing on a LG 55 so this is no good. Any ideas? Is this a config issue? I've seen some other posts where people...

My system has been working flawlessly for months - since I started using it in January of this year. Any anomalies that have come up could be explained - or WMC recovered on it's own (e.g., cancels but then finds another tuner).

Today, however, I had a two hour program scheduled to record at 4 PM....

Finally bit the bullet. Bought a homerun prime. Got a cable card from Comcast.

1). You need your account number at comcast other wise they can not find your account. They have a poor index system to look up users.
2). You need the code number off the card. Write that down before you plug in. You...

I'm trying to get live TV on my tablet through my HDHomerun but streaming directly even with wireless n has proven not to work well. So I installed HdhomerunStreamServer on my PC to fix the problem but can't seem to get my tablet to connect to it. Does anyone know what the IP address should be? I...

I have a problem that I can not figure out. I have both an HDHR-Prime and a standard HDHR that I am using for Clear QAM channels. I am using Verizon Fios and my HDHR-Prime works perfect but when I setup the HDHR it only shows as one tuner available instead of 2. I also have a small problem were not...

Just got my HDHR Prime up and running tonight and it's tuning some channels great and some channels not at all. I've got 95% signal strength and 100% quality. Time Warner cable with CableCARD and tuning adapter.

I'm only getting some channels and it's weird becasue it's not just the digital tier...

I have purchased and installed silicon dust HD home run prime in my HTPC. Installed the sdv, and Ran through the driver disc and the setup in WMC. I am with cox digital cable . activated the cable card and tried some channels. I seem to be missing about half of the digital channels. I get a blue...

If a wired/ethernet connection is necessary for the initial set up, that will be possible.
However, for day to day use I will be connecting the prime in my main entertainment center (downstairs) - but which hard wired to my router is not possible.
Do I have any options - for a wireless set up?...

Hi Everyone,

I picked up a HR Dual & its telling me that it found 0 HdHomeRun Tuners & listing Discovery Error 4001 - Please email Support@silicondust.com

Before I do that, I was wondering if anybody else has recieved this message & if there was a fix that I could try?

Thanks

Guys I'm running WMC 7 with an HDHR Prime tuner I also use a Cisco STA1520 for SDV. I am having some strange problems out of media center for example on one TV I had ESPN playing after about 15 to 30 minutes the connection was dropped and I received error no tuner available to satisfy the current...

I've googled this issue but I'm not sure of what to do to rectify this, I only see mention of stuttering with the Homerun Prime.

Anyways, when viewing livetv (and when recording) the playback will be silky-smooth then I'll get about 1-2 seconds of stutter/macroblocking then back to silky smooth...

I have my tuner card, and adapter set up and running. (awesome by the way)
Heres a problem that I came across.... WMC program guide did not list certain programs that were 'on air on the same channel, but different time frame.
Can someone clue me in on what I need to do to fix this issue? I tried...

So over the weekend I replaced my cable boxes with a HD Homerun Prime. After a few hours of troubleshooting, I was able to get this working.

Unfortunately, it looks like adding live TV to WMC has locked me out of my network shares. My HTPC plays the role of my server as well and I have a bunch of...

Sorry dont have time to go into details but there is an official press release here

I'm looking for something fairly minimal that can handle watching live tv while recording 2 other programs. Will the AMD E-450 CPU/GPU cut it? Thanks

OK so I recently replaced my older ATI HD650 TVwonders with 2 HDHR3 tuners in hopes of decluttering and keeping my clearqam channel recordings going. Unfortunately I am now seeing pixelation quite heavily on all recordings from the HDHR3 tuners. Pixelation that I do not see on my Ceton InfinTV nor...

I just purchased a HDHomeRun Dual and I am using it with Windows Media Center (Windows 7 x64).

When I try to watch recorded TV (or even live TV of a show that is recording) I don't hear any audio. If I look at the recording's info and switch the audio to what WMC calls Spanish (but I think is...

I'm going to be reformatting my PC and reinstalling Windows 7 this afternoon to give me a clean slate on a new SSD. I currently use 2 HDHomerun Duals for ClearQAM and an InfiniTV for cablecard - all through Comcast.

To make my life the easiest, is it recommended that I setup the Ceton first (with...

I am looking to invest in an HDHomerun Prime and add it to my network. My question is could you use a server to basically stream all the tuners on the Prime. I want the server to be a centralized place to record and store TV recordings. I was thinking that the other computers can extend off the...

I have been running a Velocity Micro with 2 ATI TV Wonder tuners. System works great but could really use 2 more tuners for those times when im recording 2 shows simo. I am reluctant to pull the ATI's and switch to a Ceton since everthing works so good now...I think you all know what I mean ! Can I...

Hi All,
I ran into an issue with my HRHRPrime tonight that I had not run into before. I'm just checking to see if there is anything I should look out for or check on to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I had 2 simultaneous recordings tonight. I have Time Warner which requires use of a TA. One...

Is there a alternative setup for QAM Channels in Media center? QAM HD is like channel 2.1(cbs), Is there a way to edit it so it looks something like 502(hd cbs on fios)?

When I tune a channel on my HDHR-Prime after not using it for awhile (not sure actual length) I get a pop-up for 3-5 seconds saying HDCP support is required. After a few seconds it goes away and the station plays fine. Also, I can swap between channels fine after that initial pop-up. The TV is a...

I recently installed HD Prime to be able to record programs in WMC. All channels are playing smoothly in Quick TV but there is a range of channels that are glitchy--speeding up stopping and stuttering in WMC. I've been working with Silicondust's Support Center and after a week of back and forth...

Any help appreciated- just in the process of moving from a Sony XL100 which had space for two PCI tv tuner cards, to a ASRock Vision 2nd gen version which has no room for any tuners (or 6TB of HDs, but got a WHS for that!).

So are there any HD options out there, Freeview HD or Freesat HD,...

Hi all,
I was looking at the logs in my HDHR Prime today. It looks like it was reset/rebooted around 4am on Tuesday morning. I don't recall any power outages, and I definitely wasn't awake unplugging stuff at that hour. The following appears in the first line of the Log History in my HDHR Prime....

Quick background:
Before purchasing the HDHRPrime, I borrowed a Hauppauge 1250 from a buddy for about a month to test if I would like WMC7. I installed a fresh copy of Win7 x64 specfically for the purpose of WMC. With the PCIe card, the PC would sleep and wake when called by my XBox. It would wake...

Why is the HDHR-US Dual more than the newer HDHR3 Dual online? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks

Anyone tried both? I have had my HD Homerun for about 2 or 3 years, and it has been pretty stable. I have the occasional dropouts, but am not sure if it is the tuner or the antennas.

I was wondering what changed with the newer tuner, other than the single coax connector and the plastic. I am...

I am having issues with the local guide for 55444 zip code. I am feeding a good signal through Comcast but cannot get WMC7 to see the .1, .2 ect. channels. I can see them with QuickTV which came with the tuner. How do I get around the Comcast provided channel lineup?

Hi, I'm thinking about switching my Infinitv for the HDHomeRun Prime. One of the main reasons would be to have my HTPC off and record with my Xbox 360 (besides that I can't wake my computer up and have the Infinitv come back on). Is this possible? Would it record to the Xbox drive itself? I have a...

I have installed the SD Home Run Prime on my network and it won't work with media center on my desktop. Works well with MC on my laptop but I get a blue screen when tuning channels on my desktop. It says call your cable company to activate the cable card or run set up to activate windows . I know...

I'm running the 20111025 version of the HR-Prime BIOS and software and I have to restart WMC several times a day because it loses connect with the Prime. It's connected to a wired network and the throughput is fine, rarely any pixilation. The event viewer in Windows shows the following error...

They stipulate that it's only compatible with standard def but it's a step in the right direction.

I have one Silicon Dust HD HomeRun Dual already. I am adding two more this weekend.
Do I have to run the software for each unit?
With 6 Tuners I realize I will need TunerSalad. Do I install it before or after putting the two new units in?
I have looked around but can't find much on installing...

I noticed that HDHomeRun posted on their twitter feed that the 3CC versions of the new Prime tuner were shipping out of Newegg starting yesterday, 8/22. I pre-ordered mine on 5/14 but my order is still in the On Hold state.

Has anyone gotten shipment confirmation?
