Software Installation

Download and install the latest HDHomeRun software from downloads.

You must install the 32-bit (x86) version of the HDHomeRun drivers to use with Beyond TV.
This applies to both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.

HDHomeRun Setup Wizard:

  • System:
    • Check that the HDHomeRun is detected. If not, double check that it is plugged in and click Rescan.
    • If the HDHomeRun is directly connected to the PC it can take a minute before the HDHomeRun is detectable - wait and click Rescan.
  • Lineup:
    • Set your location and postcode.
    • Set the source to "Digital Cable".
    • The lineup id field can be left blank.

Channel Mapping

  • Run HDHomeRun Setup from the Start menu.
  • Go to the Lineup tab. Verify the lineup configuration is correct. The lineup id field can be left blank.
  • Click the "Channel Editor" button.
  • Select a tuner and click "Scan". The scan will take around 10 minutes to complete.
    • The digital channels are often above 650MHz so it may take a while before the first digital channel is found.
    • The top bar graph shows the signal strength. Green indicates a strong digital signal. A white graph indicates a non digital signal.
  • Click the "Zap2it Website" button to launch a web browser and go to the zap2it website. Select your cable provider.
  • For each channel:
    • Click the View button to view the channel in VLC.
    • Compare with the zap2it website to identify the channel.
    • Change the "Guide Name" field to exactly match the name of the channel from the zap2it website.
      • For local channels the zap2it listing may have two channels - one analog (for example "2 KTVU") and one digital (for example "702 KTVUDT"). Use the digital channel name "KTVUDT".
    • Set the "Enabled" field.
      • Music only channels should be disabled.
    • Repeat for all channels detected. Save as you go.
