Re: Xfinity Not finding channels during scan

Since you mentioned "not staged" I will assume you are in a Cisco/SA/Technicolor area which is very unusual for comcast, so quite often that needs to be fixed through "local" support (which there usually isn't any a user can contact). They will need to send a hit that makes that ...

Re: DRM Protected Channels

First I would check that the card is properly paired... an incorrectly, but partially, paired card can often work with anything but DRM channels. Next I would look at other equipment, anything that might delay network transmission as there is a 7ms RTT so often moca/wifi (particularly the combinatio...

Re: HDHomeRun App on Roku vs Firestick

Roku is limited to just the roku player... with android (firetv is currently using android) there is much more one can do.

For ATSC3 on roku you need a recent Ultra model.

Ny personal recommendation is to NEVER use a roku when it comes to TV content (it can be fine for internet content).

Re: DRM Protected Channels

What tuner device... nothing works with ATSC3 DRM with the HDHomeRun 4k (yet)... it "should" work with cablecard (hdhr prime) DRM but I think there may have been a (mecool) firmware update that messed that up... Also recently the other DRM platform apps have needed certificate updates (win...

Re: HDHR Quattro. Stop auto-discovery?

That won't happen... there is no "auto discovery" as far as the device is concerned, something must be looking for it (thus it is "manual" discovery not auto) and to turn that feature off breaks hundreds of apps. In other words the app (channels in thus case) is periodically tryi...

Re: Flex Quatro HDFX-4US USB or PoE Power?

People have done such but keep in mind that probably the biggest cause of problems have been power supply related as it needs good clean power with very low ripple/noise... (often after a few years you may find yourself replacing power supply). Usually with USB power adapters you will not get that c...

Re: Receiving "no tuner available".

Are you asking about the HDHomeRun DVR or the Channels DVR as you seemed to be combining some things. If the HDHomeRun DVR, how was the DVR engine installed as there have been different sets of problems. The main thing I have seen problems with on some devices is firewall and ipv6 as the HDHomeRun D...

Re: List of Supported devices

I'll make sure to restart it when I get home later tonight. I thought I had restarted at least once since setting it to send such data but may not have watched a 3.0 channel since the last restart and I also briefly went back to a chromecast on the same tv to compare how snappy the UI seemed to be w...

Re: List of Supported devices

Currently using my new "ZW" ATSC3 STB picked up from CM. Just wanted to see if AC4 was processing correctly with the HDHomeRun app if anyone at SD cares to look. I may answer my own question as I look at other things on it but currently hooked only to a 2 speaker tv so a bit hard to tell. ...

Re: Encryption

The two are not in conflict... The supposed "Encoding Rules" are not real rules... just a virtually empty set of promises of what they would like the stations to do and can be changed at any moment (just takes a few brodacsters to change those encoding rules). Every one of those rules MUST...

Re: Super Bowl in 4K HDR

I just wish I could get it with 3.0... I have 3 different STBs that support DRM that I was looking forward to comparing, but right now my local ATSC3 station is broadcasting absolutely nothing... currently the meter reads -79dBm for that station. It used to be my strongest signal as they had a secon...

Re: Servio

My understanding is the clock is supposed to start ticking when it first connects to SD to get DeviceAuth but they may have such for once a recording is scheduled. Someone from SD might be able to check but it's hard for a user to as there isn't an "account" (email address) associated with...

The scribe and servio come with a free year of dvr service but you don't really get an account as access is through that device (not the other devices... when you buy service any if the devices on your account may be used to access dvr features but keep in mind that it is easy to mess up such associ...

Re: DVR Stopped recording?

I believe that is the latest for the 4th gen. The only few releases since then have been for models with built in dvr, and the 5th gen.
