Re: Locked Up / Ready to Record

From the symptom you are describing plus the diagnostic logs indicating "power on", I suspect the power adapter of the HDHomeRun is failing.

Checking, are you using the HDHomeRun FLEX with an attached USB drive? or are you using a NAS/PC for recordings?

What kind of drive are you using?

Re: Win 11 app crash "Null strings may not be marshaled...

It has been fixed, I will arrange for a new release quickly.

Re: Win 11 app crash "Null strings may not be marshaled...

When does this error occur? (ie where in the app were you and what was the last action you did?)

Re: status.json issues

They should be the same number. The status.json number doesn't look right... we will get it fixed.

Re: Installed Latest firmware now channels go in and out.

The firmware does not affect reception - it is not the problem.

Re: Fried HDHomeRun

IC7 - Richtek RT9081AGQZA

Suggestions:

1) Checking IC2 RT7273GQW:
Check +12V is reaching the input caps - C7, C8, and C9.
Check all 3 outputs. Easiest is to check L2 (1.8V), L3 (1.15V), and L5 (3.3V). If 1 or 2 rails are working it may be a short downstream on one rail rather than the IC that is ...

Re: Error: Internet required on initial startup-not a new install

Very odd. Obviously they have internet access because the app update installed.

Problem reproduced on Shield. I will have an answer tomorrow.
