Re: hdhomerun.local


Okay. So, it merely relying on network routing and firewalls. This if someone finds a way to hack themselves a connection on the router, they're in. I know that this isn't a major threat. I was just curious about SiliconDust's cybersec implementation on the device. Thanks.

The thing is, what is ...

Re: hdhomerun.local

The HDHomeRun is for use on your home private network, protected from the internet by your home router. Anyone in your home can access it (by design).

There are no restrictions on subnets, although it won't be discovered across a subnet unless you do IPv6 site-multicast routing.

There isn't a ...

Re: DVR Access: No

What is the Device ID of your HDHomeRun?

Anyone with early access (2016) will need to transition to a paid account in the coming months (notice will be provided via the app). Early access accounts that have not been used for some time were purged. I can check things given your Device ID.

Re: Unable to tune to unencrypted ATSC 3.0 channels

That looks fine, although the signal quality will change depending on the PLPs needed.

What does get /tuner0/streaminfo and get /tuner0/plpinfo report?

The warranty is the original warranty, or the RMA date + 90 days, whichever is longer.

Re: HDHomeRun FLEX 4K crashing regularly for nearly 2 years!


So you can assure me that the exchanged unit I receive is effectively brand new, never connected, never used. Just purchased by an Amazon customer and then returned in brand new condition?
Not sure how you are getting "never connected, never used" from my post. No such assurance will be made.

Re: New features / functionality


1) If a recording starts while I am using the HDHomeRun device I don't see the recording. I need to get out and back in, then I see the recording. Same thing when deleting a recording. It would be nice if it would update "dymanically" and not have to exit and get back in.
What platform are you ...

Re: HDHomeRun FLEX 4K crashing regularly for nearly 2 years!

BTW - Refurbished units are almost always from unwanted-purchase returns. We have Amazon set to return to us rather than put back on the shelf as new. We run all unwanted-purchase returns through full production testing and load testing when we get them back.

Re: HDHomeRun FLEX 4K crashing regularly for nearly 2 years!


I just sent the e-mail. But, I specified that they would need to first send me the replacement. After dealing with this issue for nearly 2 years making me do without the device during shipping both ways plus processing time on your end is not acceptable.

Re: HDHomeRun FLEX 4K crashing regularly for nearly 2 years!

No reason to swap out the USB enclosure or drive that I can see.

It looks like it is rebooting as soon as you start trying to watch something (and sometimes whenever).

The logged reason is "power on". If a fault such as a segfault, stall, or hardware watchdog trigger were to occur the cause is ...

Re: HDHomeRun FLEX 4K crashing regularly for nearly 2 years!

There is an additional level of diagnostic logging that is sent to our servers if you enable "send diagnostic information" on the HDHomeRun. We can look up this information by Device ID to see what the problem is.

Logs are kept for 2 weeks then purged automatically. The "send diagnostic information ...
