OTAMap Live TV Support

1. Getting started

1. Plug your HDHomeRun into your home router with the antenna connected.
2. Make sure your iPhone or iPad is on the same Wi-Fi network as the HDHomeRun.
3. Install OTAMap Live TV from the App Store and open it.
4. The app auto-discovers every HDHomeRun on the network and pulls the channel lineup. The On Now grid populates within a few seconds.
5. Tap any channel to watch. On iPad, try the Multi-View tab to watch up to four channels at once.

2. The app says "No tuners found"

• Confirm the HDHomeRun is powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network).
• Try the HDHomeRun's own app first to verify the tuner is reachable from this iPhone/iPad. If the official app can't see it either, the device itself isn't visible to your network — restart your router and the HDHomeRun.
• Tap "Search Again" on the empty-state card.
• If you just want to explore the app without hardware, tap "Try Demo Mode" — the app shows a sample lineup with bundled clips.

3. A channel won't play, or plays with glitches

• Check the signal strength readout. Anything below ~55 SS is marginal reception and will glitch.
• If the channel is recorded successfully in HDHomeRun's official app but not in OTAMap Live TV, file a bug below.
• Other channels in the same multiplex (same RF) on a legacy DUAL — Multi-View now correctly picks the right sub-channel for each tile.

4. Demo Mode

• Toggle on in Preferences (More tab on iPhone, sidebar on iPad).
• A six-channel sample lineup populates with bundled, copyright-free clips.
• The OTAMap Antenna Pointing Utilities — Compass view, AR pointer, station card, tropo overlay, contour view, signal-path profile — everything except the channel lineup itself works normally using your real location.
• Toggle off to return to live HDHomeRun discovery.

5. Permissions the app asks for

• Local Network — required, used to discover HDHomeRuns on your Wi-Fi.
• Location While Using — used only to compute distance and bearing from where you are to each TV transmitter. Never leaves the device.
• Camera — only when you open the AR pointer view. Otherwise unused.
