What it does:

1) The app will make a short capture of one of your local ATSC 3.0 channels every 6 hours or so and send the capture to our servers. The capture includes the Device ID of the HDHomeRun used to make the capture, but no personal information or information about your PC.

2) On November 17 during the EAS test the app will make a longer capture of one of your local ATSC 3.0 channels in order to capture the EAS test. It may take up to an hour after the EAS test for the capture to upload.

Ok to close the app window - it will minimize to the tray icon area by the clock. Your PC needs to be running and you need to be logged in for the captures to work. You can Lock your PC like normal without interrupting operation.

Note that the app will prevent your PC from going to sleep or hibernating until November 17. You can still manually put your computer to sleep however doing so will prevent any captures from running until the PC is woken up again.

The app auto-starts when you log in.

After November 17 the app will stop making captures, stop preventing the computer from sleeping, and it will tell you to uninstall it.

Requirements

* Any 4K model of HDHomeRun, 20261107 firmware.
* Be able to receive ATSC 3.0 channels.
* Windows 10 or Windows 11 (or Linux).
* Internet connection.

Messages

"ERROR: HDHomeRun <DeviceID> not running latest firmware - please run HDHomeRun app to upgrade the firmware" - the firmware is older than 20261107 - simply run the normal HDHomeRun app to upgrade the firmware.

"ERROR: Please run a new channel scan in the HDHomeRun app: Settings menu, Channels" - the EACapture program wasn't able to confirm that a channel scan has run since the firmware was upgraded. Simply run the normal HDHomeRun app, go into Settings, Channels, and run a channel scan.
