Re: We need your help!

Nick,
I would like to help out. I have a HDHomeRun FLEX 4K (HDFX-4K) in my AZ home. But I'm currently in MN. I have both of my homes connected with a VPN, so I can access remotely my Flex 4k. But when I run the EACapture application, it must not be able to see it. It's on a different subnet, but accessible. Is there a way to configure EACapture the IP address that it should look for my HDHomeRun device. Doesn't look like from the UI, I can set this.

If you can instruct me, I would like to help out as some Channels in the Phoenix area are using DRM so, they don't work.

Thanks,
Brian

I would love if you would make a docker version of this because my Windows computer doesn't run 24/7 but my unraid server does.

The two ATSC 3.0 stations I get are...
RF 6 - WRME-LD Chicago - weak signal / intermittent reception
RF 12 - WBBM-NG Chicago - good signal / consistent reception

Does the EACapture app verify that the tuner is not in use before capturing the data?

For the same reason I don't support DRM encryption, I don't run Windows. I will support your test in Linux. Privacy first. The right to the public airwaves without encryption.

Same, I have two of the original Connect 4k (not flex) and one Flex Duo. I've upgraded the firmware on all three, ran the channel scans via the web interface, the HDHR Config GUI app, and in the HDHR player app. I keep getting this error on whichever Connect 4k is found first.

Easily fixed - please run the normal HDHomeRun app (can be on any device on your home network) and go into Settings (gear icon top right), Channels, and click the scan button to kick off a channel scan.
