HD Homerun Connect tuners not seen by mc24, Win10, nuc8i5beh
« on: October 15, 2018, 02:26:49 am »

Hello,

Using the Win10 HDHomerun app I can see all expected channels.
In MC24 when I select Television, setup, add postal code and select JTV, select antenna, Digital ATSC, then get a message saying I do not have a tuner configured.

I have fully updated Win10, MC24, Homerun Connect, and the Nuc8. I have enabled the JRiver Media network and added a pinhole to my router. The JRiver server is visible to other devices. I have disabled the windows firewall. I have stopped everything in services that had to do with Windows media player. I have tried different ports and switches.
Device manager looks clear, but there is no sign of the Silicon Dust HDconnect.  I have other network devices working with the Nuc and the HDconnect App shows up under network devices but I cannot make any changes there.

I do not find a way to configure the Homerun connect as suggested in the forums. The only thing I see from silicon dust is the win10 app.  The HDconnect does show up as a MC library but attempts to use it failed.

I am using an HDHR4-2US network connected.  I am new to windows 10 but was able to use Windows 7 with an internal TV card and JRiver for years. I am not proficient with networking. What am I missing?

There is software setup on the machine that needs to use the tuners other than the windows 10 app. It installs drivers and there is a configuration where you can set the tuners to "JRiver mode". I know it works with HDHR Prime (cablecard), no idea about your Connect. Here is the link to the latest:

Make sure you give MC full access through your firewall.

tzr916, you are correct that was what I needed.  I had run that install file earlier. The first time I ran it and it asked for a restart I thought it was complete.  It was not.  All it had done was install microsoft visual c++.  I ran the same executable file again and it installed the software I needed.  A few clicks later and I was up and running.

Thank you.

The interact forum has been very helpful to me over the years.  Thanks to all the contributors.
