Amul, Wow, thanks for posting this, it works great on Ubuntu 8.04To clarify further: here is a summary from my history file of the commands ( showing real values for WCAU-DT 10.1 ) hdhomerun_config 10160FF3 upgrade /home/lmarzke/Desktop/hdhomerun_atsc_firmware_20090305a.bin

This topic came up at the last PLUG West meeting. Bhaskar asked about using VLC with the HDHomeRun without using MythTV. I was going to have a fun time learning this except, the wheel has already been built. 1) Use apt/synaptic to get the hdhomerun_config utility. OR you can download and compile it from http://www.silicondust.com/wiki/downloads 2) Upgrade your firmware, The most recent release is 20090305a (from the downloads link above). The forum thread link (below) about 'unknown channelmap 'default' error' is the error that you will get when the channel map has not been set. Looking through the minimal Mac GUI that automates this (there are sources for a GTK GUI, but I didn't check for it in the repos) I see four options: 'us-bcast', 'us-cable', 'us-hrc' and 'us-irc'. Set the right one for your use. http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6330 3) This older post covers everything else that anyone needs to do to watch TV via VLC. http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1924 This is the help from the HDHR $ hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF get help Supported configuration options: /tuner<n>/channel <modulation>:<freq|ch> Get/set modulation and frequency /tuner<n>/channelmap <channel map> Get/set channel to frequency map /tuner<n>/filter 0x<nnnn>-0x<nnnn> [...] Get/set PID filter /tuner<n>/program <program number> Get/set MPEG program filter /tuner<n>/target <ip>:<port> Get/set target IP for tuner /tuner<n>/status Display status of tuner /tuner<n>/streaminfo Display stream info /tuner<n>/debug Display debug info for tuner /tuner<n>/lockkey Set/clear tuner lock /ir/target <ip>:<port> Get/set target IP for IR /lineup/location <countrycode>:<postcode> Get/set location for lineup /lineup/location disabled Disable lineup server connection /sys/model Display model name /sys/features Display supported features /sys/version Display firmware version /sys/copyright Display firmware copyright /sys/debug Display debug info I noticed these two help lines are missing from the new firmware: Supported modulation types: 8vsb qam qam64 qam256 Supported channel maps: default us-bcast us-cable us-irc us-hrc Ah, I see its in the /sys/features $ hdhomerun_config 1014350D get /sys/features channelmap: us-bcast us-cable us-hrc us-irc modulation: 8vsb qam256 qam64 auto-modulation: auto auto6t auto6c qam The HDHR Dev Guide (see http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/instructions) covers the use of the utilities. You can use the tools to capture an MPEG stream too.
