[mythtv-users] Requesting help setting up HDHomeRun

[Kirk Bocek]

Bob you might check the archives for my recent thread on the HDHR. I've been 
getting some great help from Daniel, Bill, Mr. Newbury and everyone else.

Have you been able to tune channels using the Windows GUI app they provide? It 
does a great job of showing encrypted vs. unencrypted channels and it also 
gives details like service IDs. That's how I was able to see that Myth was 
missing a few channels.
