Re: Some mexican channels cannot load on the official HDHR app.

What is the device ID for your HDHomeRun? We can update the guide listings.

Re: Point config to Media Player Classic over VLC

You would either need to set the speaker configuration in the HDHomeRun app to passthrough or connect the PC directly to the receiver via HDMI. S/PDIF is bandwidth-limited and can only carry DD, DTS, or max 2 channels of PCM audio.

Re: Manually adding channels

Is it the original model that has the loop-style elements where the transformer attaches:

Or the newer model that just has the blades:

Re: ATSC 3.0 AC4 audio

The box is doing the decoding. It does not explicitly list an AC-4 decoder, but instead the app has to send it the audio as if it was going to do passthrough and then it decodes. This is common in devices based on the Amlogic SoCs. It should provide 5.1 where available.

Re: ATSC 3.0 AC4 audio

There is no customer-visible diagnostic mode, but if you enable the sending of diagnostic data in the gear menu HDHomeRun app, watch an ATSC 3.0 channel, and reply back with the device ID for your HDHomeRun, we can check the logs to see what AC-4 mode is in use.

Re: Manually adding channels

Thanks, they did get back to us that 29 should now be fully operational. Very nice to work with broadcasters like that.

Do you know the model of the antenna or have a link to it? Some models have very inconsistent performance on the lowest UHF channels, and 41.x is on one of those. Some of them can ...

Re: Manually adding channels

Based on the scan data from your device, 29 is not transmitting a TVCT, which is the bit of data that tells the receiver the channel names and numbers. We know the company that operates that station as they contact us regularly about updating the guide listings, so I just sent them an email asking ...

Re: Usage when Internet is down

Yes, offline support was added as of like mid-July. The app needs to have been run once while online in order to cache the interface, but once it fails to connect to the server you should get an option to continue and then will be able to watch live and recorded TV (recorded requires a DVR, of ...

Re: Unable to find Tuner if not on the same Vlan as TV - walkerx

The reason I asked about IPv6 is that it appears your DVR PC is accessible on multiple different subnets, like you might have a /56 from your ISP and are running a different /64 on each VLAN, but the PC is on 2-3 different ones simultaneously, which is why the app finds the DVR but not the devices ...

Re: Speaker Configuration

Devices that do not have an AC-4 codec use our transcode service and will get stereo audio back that gets output in the selected format. Most devices that have a built-in decoder access it via the app trying to do passthrough, and you'll either get PCM in the appropriate channel count if stereo/5.1 ...

Re: Lost guide info for 102.1 - 102.5 minneapolis

Updated. They rebranded as Minnesota PBS and changed the channel names and that required the guide mappings to be reset.
