Instruction manual

Channel scan
To run a channel scan:
Format: hdhomerun_config <id> scan /tuner<n> [log filename]
Example: hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF scan /tuner0 scan0.log
This command will scan all channels on the selected channel map plus any additional channel maps
associated with the selected channel map. All standard modulation types for the selected channel map
are tested.
When a digital channel is found it will identify the programs on the channel.
The log filename is optional; if included it will log to the given filename.
Tuning a physical channel
To set a channel use the set channel command:
Format: hdhomerun_config <id> set /tuner<n>/channel <modulation>:<frequency>
Format: hdhomerun_config <id> set /tuner<n>/channel <modulation>:<channel>
Example: hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/channel auto:651000000
Example: hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/channel auto:60
To auto-detect the modulation type use “auto” for the modulation.
Supported modulation types can be queried with the get sys-features command:
hdhomerun_config <id> get /sys/features
To stop the tuner set the channel to none:
Format: hdhomerun_config <id> set /tuner<n>/channel none
Example: hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/channel none
Tuning a virtual channel (TECH3-6CC-3x2 only)
To set a virtual channel use the set vchannel command:
Format: hdhomerun_config <id> set /tuner<n>/vchannel <virtual channel>
Example: hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/vchannel 702
To stop the tuner set the vchannel to none:
Format: hdhomerun_config <id> set /tuner<n>/vchannel none
Example: hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/vchannel none
