I'm using a HDhomerun connected via a 2nd network card in my backend
(short on router ports and no tv antenaa socket near my router anyway
but plenty of old 100mbit network cards around). I originally had it
connected via the router with a static IP. Is the default to select
the deviceID if it can see it?
