DVR does not find my tuners (VirtualBox network settings)

From the log.

I am running VirtualBox on Windows 10 with Linux Mint as operationg system.

If I manual scan it still does not find tuners (I have HDHomeRun Prime and Connect).

Any ideas…new to Linux.

Might be because of how the network adapter is setup on VirtualBox. Can you screencap the settings?

Make sure your network adapter in Virtualbox is set to be Bridged to your LAN port, not NAT or Network Address Translation.

Bridging is like connecting it directly to the same network the physical interface is on. NAT “hides” it behind the host operating system and it can’t “see” the tuners in the same broadcast domain.

Changing VirtualBox network adapter to Bridged from NAT did the trick. Thanks for the help.
