Troubleshooting

Reelhost can't find the HDHomeRun

"No HDHomeRun found on your network" or "The tuner isn't answering" usually means the computer can't reach it.

  • Check the tuner has power and is plugged in to the same router as this computer, not a guest network.
  • Reelhost looks for tuners through SiliconDust's own discovery, which lists the HDHomeRun devices at your home's internet address, and at hdhomerun.local. A VPN on this computer can hide the tuner: turn it off and try again.
  • Open hdhomerun.local in a browser on this computer. If the tuner's page doesn't open, restart the tuner, then the router.
  • Then open Antenna & recordings again, or click Check again in the Check-up.
