Good morning.
Our Connect Quatro stopped working through PLEX. It works through the HDhomerun app, but not showing in the connected devices on the router. Network LED is solid green. Now, every now and then I get a screen when I start the app, that says something about error 227 (or 277) I think ...

Plex can get confused if, for example, the tuner's IP address has changed. When it performs its discover it sees the same device but at the new address. For whatever reason it seems to disregard what it considers to be a duplicate. That's my experience at least.

Depending on your router's ...

to further bolster what nickk said about the device not having the capacity to decrypt, the fruit is in the pie.

Eh? There is no transparency here. We are being entirely opaque. We have not told you what it is, what to expect, or when to expect it. You don't have to trust us. You don't have to believe us. We owe you nothing, and you owe us nothing. No transaction has occurred here. This thread was supposed ...

Is there any consideration to making an Android dongle you could plug into the HDMI port on a single TV that could connect to the tuner to decode the DRM channels?
The Z company is attempting this, with hardware devices, and has already had the rug pulled out from under them once. I will be ...

I don't remember if I'm allowed to link elsewhere, so nickk@ please truncate this if I shouldn't have. Anyway...

In a move that likely surprises no one here, the company whose name begins with a Z completed a working streaming+DRM solution using their HDMI connected devices, and it was just ...

I can confirm that the channels I was not receiving (105.1, 111.1, and 113.1) are all now working normally. One thing to note: I was always able to get video and sound on 112.1, but the guide says it's supposed to be Jewelry Television (JTV), but the channel that comes in on 112.1 is Guadelupe ...

I called Silicon Dust about this and left a message. They actually called me back! They said that the way Google TV does the DRM now has changed and it requires SiliconDust to have to re-write their program function. I was told however, it's such a new way that the developers will have to learn ...

I think what is needed is for "classic" interface be built into the app and be made to not rely on internet connections and can be selected as a default interface. While the new interface may be more internet dependent.

I went to one of my news programs I record that always has a date of over a ...

I posted this an hour ago on AVS forum. Hope I don't get in trouble with them.......

NAB "The Future of Television Initiative Report"

https://www.blog.nab.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/01.17.2025-%E2%80%93-Future-of-Television-Initiative-Report.pdf

I found this VERY interesting. I have ...

In a recent episode of Lon.tv, he discussed a report from the FCC regarding ATSC 3.0. The report was about the ongoing discussions of the various industry and consumer groups about all things ATSC 3.0. I assume, though I may be wrong, that these are the discussions that SD has been involved in ...

The world that exists outside of the United States. There's a huge market for US TV shows and sports outside internationally, and as with anything, piracy provides a cheaper way to access it, what with not having to pay copyright holders. The concern there is very real. Whether ATSC 3.0 DRM will ...

They are putting on DRM/Encryption, so they don't have pirates setting up tuner farms and selling the signals cheap via IP tv, without them getting paid. IF it's all encrypted, AND pirates still steal the signals and sell them without the legal rights to do so, it's a whole different law to stop ...

The 2 CHSN channels broadcast OTA in Chicago have reportedly been downgraded from 1080i AVC to 720p MPEG2. So much for that great experiment.


the cows who in repeating fashion chew their food is always thinking the people on the other side of the wall is stupid and they stride to treat the ...

While I generally agree with what you are saying here I would beg to differ on one use case I.e. sports. Fox Sports upscaled 1080p in HDR is spectacular on my LG C6 OLED. I would be tickled pink to be able to get all my sports in this format going forward…
OLED makes a big difference - it has a ...
