To install the Tvheadend system, run:

yum --enablerepo=base-extras install hts-tvheadend

To start the Tvheadend system, run:

service tvheadend start

To have the system start on boot, run:

chkconfig tvheadend on

At this point, you should be able to login to the Tvheadend web-based administration tool. In your favorite web browser, type in the IP address or hostname of your ClearOS server with port 9981, for example:

http://192.168.1.1:9981

By default, the system does not have password protection configured. The first thing you should do is create an administrator account! You can do this by going to Configuration|Access Control in the menu system.
