“Today, we are excited to announce, after years of requests, the first step in HDHomeRun support for Roku. We need to start out by saying this is very much a Beta product. It does not do many of the things you expect from a traditional HDHomeRun app. And because of that, we’ve decided to give it a new name “HDHomeRun OTA Live.” Nate Betzen said in a post on SiliconDust’s website.
There are a few limitations including that this HDHomeRun Roku Channel only works on the Roku Players and Roku TVs with Roku OS 9. Also, this is a beta channel meant to help test out the channel before it goes into the Roku Channel Store.
How to add the HDHomeRun Roku Channel to your Roku:
You will also need to manually add the HDHomeRun Roku Channel. To add the HDHomeRun Roku Channel to your Roku you first need to go to https://my.roku.com/ and click on the “Add Channel With a Code” option about halfway down the page. Once there you will need to enter the code N6MN9QC and select the add channel button.
Note: You must also have Roku OS 9.0 installed on your Roku. (Most Roku TVs and all Roku Ultras should have this update now.)
