Re: thread on sync two tvs with HD Home Run new user?

It's probably more a matter of app compatibility. I run 1 HD home run Flex 4 and a DVR subscription and DVR shows to my home windows PC.

I can watch shows using the HD Homerun app on:
* Samsung TV via firestick
* iPad Pro
* Windows PC

I can use any combination of these clients at the same time ...

Yeh not surprised at that answer.🤪
It is a really specific recreate so I thought I'd ask. I have to be less spastic on the FF button presses.

Re: Channel Issues... but not all? - paulbates

Yeh it did in that last scan, right about the time the weather cleared. That seems to be part of it, it started right after it clouded up and cleared after the sky cleared up. There was another post from a Detroit user that listed an antenna you recommended. It looks l Iike an outdoor antenna and ...

Channel Issues... but not all? - paulbates

Relatively new user of a HDFX 4K. Spent time in the forums and asked question about antennas (got good answers). I wanted to receive a local station here in Detroit to watch NFL when they have it. After trying a new antenna, worked great.

A few days ago, around the time of a snow storm, I got a ...

Re: Overwriting old recordings

A check box for a circular file rotation would be great, FIFO. For me, putting it in the web ui for the tuner would be fine.

Tuner data beyond tuner page

On the tuner's web page, under the link for each tuner, there's useful data for figuring out reception/antennas....
- Modulation Lock
- Signal Strength
- Signal Quality
- Symbol Quality

... but they are only available when the channel is playing on the individual tuner pages. Two different ideas ...

Re: DRM error Shield TV - paulbates

I resolved this by replacing the rabbit ears with a Mohu Leaf passive panel antenna in a window near the TV.
It went from 52 to 67 channels, the first of which was WJBK, the one I wanted. Excellent signal strength and great picture. So far other channels receiving well also.

Thanks. I have a through-the- wall cable run up there with power to a power strip, so it got plugged in to AC power.

Firestick 4k DVR Playback Problem

I have the HD Homerun 4k receiver running the App on firestick in a couple year old Samsung TV

I have it dvr'ing to a windows pc with a dedicated dvr drive. Most of the time it's fine. It selects and starts programs quickly. The pause/forward/backward perform fine, usually.

However, on playback, I ...

Back to square one. I realize RF can be unpredictable.... I can only seem to get 9 UHF channels in the 30s upstairs. Need to work on wiring more

Re: DRM error Shield TV - paulbates


WJBK Fox 2 has an ATSC 1.0 broadcast available. It is almost always the most difficult of the major Detroit stations to receive due to being VHF while the others are UHF. Many antennas struggle to receive VHF due to being too small, and VHF in general is more difficult because there is a lot more ...
