I just got my HDHomerun Prime along with the cable card from Verizon FIOS. Scanning with the HDHR Gui Config tool works perfectly and picks up all of the channels, their names and appropriate Verizon channel number too. All three tuners can be tuned to a channel and watched using that config tool.
My backend PC is Win7 Home Edition. I have tried every backend setup that I am aware of and cannot get any of them to work. I could really use some advice from anyone that has gotten the HDHR to work on a TV backend server for streaming to the latest XBMC PVR build also on Win 7.
Here is a list of the options I have tried so far (in this order):
TVGuide Addon - I have tried creating the .strm files from the HDHR content (one for each channel) using the techniques shared here and on the silicon dust website. The built in ability of the Silicondust app does not support Win7. Generating them from a slightly modified Perl script (to run on windows) did not play in XBMC.
CetonTV - This is under heavy development but looks promising. Unfortunately, I am getting errors with this as well and still awaiting a response from the author in his development thread.
MediaPortal TV Server - Doesn't support ATSC for the HDHR (aka the prime). Unfortunately I didn't notice this until after I had everything setup and installed trying to troubleshoot why it wouldn't work.
For The Record - Website says it supports it, scanning picks up a large number of services, but trying to record one per the setup guide alerts saying, "ProgramIsScrambled" on any service (tried one that works in the HD Homerun Setup GUI to be sure).
