Re: Encryption


so my understanding as to why the HDHomerun devices are NOT unencrypting the DRM signals is because PearlTV/ASCA is NOT approving them, claiming that there is a chip in the devices made outside of the US?
No, that claim was a made up story.

The HDHomeRun actually doesn't touch the encryption ...

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.

Re: Locked Up / Ready to Record

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.

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

Re: XMLTV Guide Data

Yes, you can use HDHomeRun guide data...

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.
