I also dislike having multiple apps. They are all different and it is hard to remember who jumps forward 30 sec and who jumps back 10. And even within the same app, a recorded show has different controls from live TV.


Not to mention the number of userids/passwords that need to be maintained. I ...

Thanks for the explanation, Nick. I've tried from multiple computers in my house, they all seem to be getting that message. So is it my WAN IP address that is flagged, and any traffic from that IP address is forced to go thru this verification process? Would forcing a new WAN IP address solve my ...

For the past few weeks, I've been getting a "Performing security verification" message when I access the SiliconDust forum. Not every time, but quite often. Is this something new that SiliconDust has implemented on their website, or is it something on my end? I've tried a few different browsers ...

OK, thanks jasonl. I've put this device at a lower priority than the one that is functioning perfectly, so it should be getting used a little less in the future. Unfortunately, I can't control priority at the individual tuner level.

So it looks like SDV might be involved in this issue. All three of the channels that have signal quality <100% have a frequency of 363000000 (363 MHz), which would indicate to me that they are SDV channels. All three tuners are utilizing the same frequency for those three channels, tuner0 and tuner1 ...

Usually the first symptom of a power supply going bad is problems with one particular tuner or when multiple tuners are being used. Personally I prefer the primes signal strength to be a little positive as unlike the ota models you should see the dBmV (strength) value which can usually go as high ...

If you're picking up interference from another device, the tuners that are physically closest would be affected more. Usually happens if someone stacks their HDHomeRun directly on a wireless router or something like that. Giving them a couple feet of separation can clear up this type of issue ...

I've been trying to do some optimization of my Primes, and ran into something curious. I have two Primes, with a total of six tuners. I have an inline coax attenuator on the input to each Prime, so that the signal strength reported by the Primes stays between -6.0 and -0.6 dBmV (90 to 99 percent ...

I have a SmartKom as well. I doubt if anyone can tell you the one ideal value to set it to. The SmartKom has an overall level (which I think is what you are referring to), but also has +/-3dB adjustments for each channel. In my opinion, your starting point should be to try to get the signal strength ...

1. Is the Streaming Rate shown on the PRIME’s Tuner Status page available through an API that third-party applications can query?
2. If not, are clients expected to determine the actual bandwidth by measuring the incoming MPEG-TS data rate themselves?

Option 1 would obviously be the preferred ...

Lucky you!

Sometimes I feel like Spectrum intentionally makes my user experience horrific, in the hopes that I will stop using my CableCARDs.

I think I remember nickk or somebody posting awhile back that they still had a small supply of new power adapters for the Prime available for purchase.

I am also a Spectrum customer, and just recently had something pretty much identical happen to one of my Primes (see https://forum.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80715). It took me two phone support calls (technically three, because they wound up screwing up my internet service at the end of ...
