You can get a lot of information from the web interface on the
hdhomerun prime.  You can look at the logs, and if you are tuned to a
channel you can look at information about the channel.  Also you can
get a listing of all of the channels that the hdhomerun knows about.
If you know the ip address of your hdhomerun, just point a browser to
it.

If that doesn't work, you can tune to virtual channels and see what
the CCI and other information is using the hdhomerun_config tool.

I had an issue where some of my channels weren't tuning, and I reset
the hdhomerun and it started working (I think this has happened twice
over the past year, but one of those times, nothing would tune).
