I can't speak for SD's motives for using a wall wart, but when you bring 120VAC inside your device, your whole device now needs UL Labs approval. As it currently is, UL Labs only needs to look at the power supply.

Not the OP here, but I'm having the same problem with no video and no sound, but the guide works just fine on the Windows 7 Veiw application. Watching Wireshark during channel changes shows zero network activity between my PC and the HDHR Dual. If I run Network Tuner Monitor, there is plenty of acti...

I'm not the OP, but I turned the Windows Firewall off and it had no effect for me.

I use fire sticks and the android app and almost never use the View app on Win 7, but checked mine and it is doing the same as the OP.

Thanks for looking.

I'm using a channel master CM-2018. It's roof mounted about 6 feet above the ridge. It's still looking through trees. Oddly, I was able to barely receive a station from Knoxville, TN WBXX the other day. It's now gone.

I'm thinking more about the processing power of the switch to manage one port being switched out to up to 6 other ports while not dropping packets...

I think when the Prime 6 comes out, a lot of people are going to find out how good (or bad) their network hardware is capable of handling, as some would say, a full pipe. I personally chose a Cisco small business switch for my home network. It is well supported, very affordable, and feature packed. ...
