A buddy of mine bought 2 HDHomeRun HD3-4DC<\/a> and wanted to use this on a Ubuntu 12.04 Server
\nthe problem with Ubuntu 12.04 is that the DVB kernel headers was removed from the normal header packages.<\/p>\n

first make sure that your network has a working DHCP server, and that the HDhomeRun is connected to the network and that the antenna cable is connected.<\/p>\n

first we need to add the ppa repository from
\nhttps:\/\/launchpad.net\/~tfylliv\/+archive\/dvbhdhomerun<\/a><\/p>\n

Adding the PPA repository:<\/strong><\/h1>\n
$ add-apt-repository ppa:tfylliv\/dvbhdhomerun\r\n$ apt-get update\r\n<\/pre>\n
Kernel driver:<\/strong>
\nNext we need the kernel headers and the missing headers:
\ni my case the server was using the following kernel, linux-image-3.8.0-39-generic
\nthe missing DVB headers i grapped from Kernel.org<\/a><\/p>\n
# apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.0-39-generic\r\n$ wget https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/pub\/linux\/kernel\/v3.x\/linux-3.8.tar.gz\r\n<\/pre>\n
Unpack the headers:<\/p>\n
$ tar zxfv linux-3.8.tar.gz\r\n<\/pre>\n
Next copy the missing headers to the Ubuntu headers:<\/p>\n
$ cp -R \/linux-3.8\/drivers\/media\/dvb-core\/* \/usr\/src\/linux-headers-3.8.0-39\/drivers\/media\/dvb-core\/\r\n$ cp -R \/linux-3.8\/drivers\/media\/dvb-frontends\/* \/usr\/src\/linux-headers-3.8.0-39\/drivers\/media\/dvb-frontends\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
Installing the hdhomerun dkms and utils:<\/p>\n
$ apt-get install dvbhdhomerun-dkms dvbhdhomerun-utils\r\n<\/pre>\n
This should build the dvb_hdhomerun kernel driver and the userhdhomerun userspace and the necessary script to run the userspace service,<\/p>\n
try initialize the kernel driver:<\/p>\n
$ modprobe dvb_hdhomerun\r\n<\/pre>\n
this should give something like this when looking at dmesg<\/p>\n
[   17.893873] HDHomeRun: Begin init, version 0.0.16\r\n[   17.897220] HDHomeRun: Waiting for userspace to connect\r\n[   17.897228] HDHomeRun: End init\r\n<\/pre>\n
Setup Tuners:<\/h1>\n
We need to locate the names of the tuner in my case we actually have 2 of them :).<\/p>\n
$ hdhomerun_config discover\r\nhdhomerun device 141001A7 found at 192.168.1.136\r\nhdhomerun device 14101464 found at 192.168.1.130\r\n<\/pre>\n
make a note of the name of the tuners i my case they are named: 141001A7 and 14101464.
\nnext edit \/etc\/dvbhdhomerun<\/p>\n
$ nano \/etc\/dvbhdhomerun\r\n<\/pre>\n
my config file looks like this:<\/p>\n
# Remember to exchange the XXXXYYYY-Z with the serial number of your HDHomeRun\r\n# tuner:\r\n\r\n# Auto detect tuner type is not possible in all cases, so you can force it\r\n# DVB-C\r\n# DVB-T\r\n# ATSC\r\n\r\n[141001A7-0]\r\ntuner_type=DVB-C\r\n\r\n[141001A7-1]\r\ntuner_type=DVB-C\r\n\r\n[141001A7-2]\r\ntuner_type=DVB-C\r\n\r\n[141001A7-3]\r\ntuner_type=DVB-C\r\n\r\n[14101464-0]\r\ntuner_type=DVB-C\r\n\r\n[14101464-1]\r\ntuner_type=DVB-C\r\n\r\n[14101464-2]\r\ntuner_type=DVB-C\r\n\r\n[14101464-3]\r\ntuner_type=DVB-C\r\n\r\n# You can use a full name including tuner ID. Meaning the tuner will appear as\r\n# \"HDHomeRun DVB-C 1234EA3D-0\" instead of just \"HDHomeRun DVB-C\" in for example\r\n# TVHeadend.\r\n\r\n[141001A7-0]\r\nuse_full_name=true\r\n\r\n[141001A7-1]\r\nuse_full_name=true\r\n\r\n[141001A7-2]\r\nuse_full_name=true\r\n\r\n[141001A7-3]\r\nuse_full_name=true\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[14101464-0]\r\nuse_full_name=true\r\n\r\n[14101464-1]\r\nuse_full_name=true\r\n\r\n[14101464-2]\r\nuse_full_name=true\r\n\r\n[14101464-3]\r\nuse_full_name=true\r\n\r\n\r\n# You can disable certain tuners.

Now restart the dvbhdhomerun-utils<\/p>\n
$ service dvbhdhomerun-utils restart\r\n<\/pre>\n
dmesg should show something like this:<\/p>\n
[   19.050534] hdhomerun: userhdhomerun connected\r\n[   19.050574] hdhomerun: userhdhomerun connected\r\n[   19.050588] hdhomerun: creating dvb device for 141001A7-0\r\n[   19.050688] DVB: registering new adapter (HDHomeRun)\r\n[   19.110568] HDHomeRun HDHomeRun.0: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (HDHomeRun DVB-C 141001A7-0)...\r\n[   19.110685] HDHomeRun0: DVB Frontend registered\r\n[   19.110688] HDHomeRun0: Registered DVB adapter0\r\n[   19.110728] hdhomerun: device \/dev\/hdhomerun_data0 created\r\n[   19.110971] hdhomerun: userhdhomerun connected\r\n[   19.110984] hdhomerun: creating dvb device for 141001A7-1\r\n[   19.111065] DVB: registering new adapter (HDHomeRun)\r\n[   19.112681] HDHomeRun HDHomeRun.1: DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend 0 (HDHomeRun DVB-C 141001A7-1)...\r\n[   19.112722] HDHomeRun1: DVB Frontend registered\r\n[   19.112724] HDHomeRun1: Registered DVB adapter1\r\n[   19.112762] hdhomerun: device \/dev\/hdhomerun_data1 created\r\n[   19.112959] hdhomerun: userhdhomerun connected\r\n[   19.112969] hdhomerun: creating dvb device for 141001A7-2\r\n[   19.113058] DVB: registering new adapter (HDHomeRun)\r\n[   19.115142] HDHomeRun HDHomeRun.2: DVB: registering adapter 2 frontend 0 (HDHomeRun DVB-C 141001A7-2)...\r\n[   19.115221] HDHomeRun2: DVB Frontend registered\r\n[   19.115223] HDHomeRun2: Registered DVB adapter2\r\n[   19.115264] hdhomerun: device \/dev\/hdhomerun_data2 created\r\n[   19.115456] hdhomerun: userhdhomerun connected\r\n[   19.115467] hdhomerun: creating dvb device for 141001A7-3\r\n[   19.115558] DVB: registering new adapter (HDHomeRun)\r\n[   19.115904] HDHomeRun HDHomeRun.3: DVB: registering adapter 3 frontend 0 (HDHomeRun DVB-C 141001A7-3)...\r\n[   19.115951] HDHomeRun3: DVB Frontend registered\r\n[   19.115953] HDHomeRun3: Registered DVB adapter3\r\n[   19.115985] hdhomerun: device \/dev\/hdhomerun_data3 created\r\n<\/pre>\n
The hdhomerun is now connected.<\/p>\n
Scanning for DVB-C channels:<\/strong>
\nAs i live in Denmark, the most common DVB-C providers are Yousee<\/a> and Stofa<\/a><\/p>\n
for Yousee use the following setup:<\/strong><\/p>\n
$ hdhomerun_config XXXXXXXX set \/sys\/dvbc_modulation a8qam64-6875\r\n<\/pre>\n
for Stofa use the following setup:<\/strong><\/p>\n
$ hdhomerun_config XXXXXXXX set \/sys\/dvbc_modulation a8qam64-6900\r\n<\/pre>\n
Next we need to setup the tuners:<\/strong><\/p>\n
$ hdhomerun_config  XXXXXXXX set \/tuner0\/channelmap eu-cable\r\n$ hdhomerun_config  XXXXXXXX set \/tuner1\/channelmap eu-cable\r\n$ hdhomerun_config  XXXXXXXX set \/tuner2\/channelmap eu-cable\r\n$ hdhomerun_config  XXXXXXXX set \/tuner3\/channelmap eu-cable\r\n<\/pre>\n
finally we can scan the muxes for channels:<\/p>\n
$ hdhomerun_config XXXXXXXX scan 0 hdhomerun.log\r\n<\/pre>\n
the scan takes some time so be patience<\/p>\n
if you are going to install TVheadend<\/a> you should do the following to the log file:<\/p>\n
For Yousee:<\/strong><\/p>\n
awk '{if ($1 ~ \/SCANNING\/) print \"\\n\" $2; else print $0}' hdhomerun.log | awk 'BEGIN { RS = \"\" ; FS = \"\\n\" } { if (length($4) > 0) print \"C \" $1 \" 6875000 NONE QAM64\" }' > dk-YouSee\r\n<\/pre>\n
For Stofa:<\/strong><\/p>\n
awk '{if ($1 ~ \/SCANNING\/) print \"\\n\" $2; else print $0}' hdhomerun.log | awk 'BEGIN { RS = \"\" ; FS = \"\\n\" } { if (length($4) > 0) print \"C \" $1 \" 6875000 NONE QAM64\" }' > dk-Stofa\r\n<\/pre>\n
the generated file is readable by TVheadend and should make it more easy to find the channels.<\/p>\n
Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you wanne update the firmware for the hdhomerun you can do this with the hdhomerun_config tool by doing:
\n(check Silicondust’s homepage for newer releases)<\/p>\n
$ wget http:\/\/download.silicondust.com\/hdhomerun\/hdhomerun3_dvbc_firmware_20140121.bin\r\n$ hdhomerun_config 14101464 upgrade hdhomerun3_dvbc_firmware_20140121.bin\r\n<\/pre>\n
