FAQ

Do I need to provide EPG data?

Nope. SiliconDust pays for providing the EPG (electronic programming guide), channel icons, and other data from FYI Television. [1] This data is downloaded directly onto your HDHomeRun unit and the add-on loads that data from there.

Can the add-on record video?

Currently, no. The add-on is just for viewing live TV.
