Ok, I got the tuner visible and tried to go through setup.  It's not finding any channels though, and manual attempts to add them aren't working. 

One question I have:  what is supposed to go into the "base URL" field?  The ip address of the tuner?  Something else?  Like if I want to stream directly from the web interface on the HDHomerun PRIME, the URL for channel 4 is "http://192.168.1.10:5004/auto/v4"  What part of that string (if any) is the base URL?

The base URL is  "http://192.168.1.10:5004/auto/", i.e. the URL without the "v4" part.  I could have asked for the IP address of the device, but I wanted to make this more general so we can support other devices with similar capability in the future.

Enter a range of channels, or multiple ranges of channels.  For example 2 - 100, 150 - 500; or 2 - 900.  If you try to enter disjoint multiple ranges, make sure you click "Add Range" after entering a range.

Once you enter the base URL and a range of channels, you will be able to go to the next stage.

Success!  It's working.  One interface note:  when I did the channel scan, the channel scan completed, but the "next" button was greyed out (I could only press cancel).  However after pressing cancel the scanned channels were still there and worked correctly.  Otherwise everything seems to be working!

Yaobing:
Good to hear.  About the last bit, I did not see that behavior when I tried it myself.  I will double-check.  Did you set up EPG as well as channels?

Yaobing:
I ran the Setup again and the only issue I had was everything seemed slow.  I assume that was just because I was running it in a Virtuabox, instead of a real Linux machine.

On the initial Setup wizard, after you get past the page where you enter Base URL and channel ranges, you will select an EPG option (I chose PercData, but you can choose XMLTV option too).  At the end of the initial Setup wizard, you click Scan button and the wizard is closed.  Manage Channels window pops up, and a channel scan window on top of it.  It takes a while to get the channels (it probably depends on how fast you get EPG data).  When that is done, you can click Next>.  The channel scan window will go away and an EPG mapping window should appear.  For me this was really slow.  The EPG mapping window does not show up, for a while, but the Manage Channels window still is not clickable (it is supposed to stay in the background while the other window is displaying).  The EPG mapping window will show up, listing the mapping between epg entries and your channels.  You can manually change the mappings, but there is no need to do anything.  Again for me the Next> button is available, but is slow to respond.  Eventually the EPG window disappears and Manage Channels window will be the only one left, and it is responsive.
