Re: fed up

I wonder if people started complaining about it if they would change those? Their contract with Fox required them to DRM those channels, but it's been a few days shy of 5 years since Disney took over, so even if the old contract had carried over, they should have moved on to a new one by now.

Re: Flex Duo Pixelating Badley and Voice/Video Not In Sync

Do you have the Roku located close to the TV? Some TVs emit a lot of RF that can kill wireless network performance for devices that are in close proximity, and if the TV itself is between the Roku and the router, the metal shield in the TV that is there to limit the RF emissions will also block the ...

Re: fed up

Spectrum in NY is legacy TWC, so all DRM.

Fios does use DRM on HBO/Cinemax and Fox-owned networks (FNC, FBN, FS1, BTN). Don't know if the former Fox channels that were spun off to Disney (FX, FXX, NatGeo) are still protected or not.

Re: HDFX-4K Recorded shows crashing on playback (Android TV / TiVo Stream 4k)

The logs aren't showing any obvious problems, just that the app stops receiving data for no apparent reason. Just to rule out something weird with the network interface in the Android device, can you switch it to wifi and see if the same thing still happens?

Re: fed up

Spectrum DRMs everything except the locals, you can't access DRM channels on Linux, you can't record DRM channels on anything except WMC, and Spectrum probably won't give you another CableCARD.

If you watch the same channel side by side on a phone, tablet, or computer, how does that look?

Re: The HDFX-4K, a different perspective and why it is a good purchase..

WLOS is abandoning its current Mt. Pisgah transmitter site and moving to Pinnacle Mountain (sharing a tower with WUNF), which will dramatically improve coverage of the SC side of the market. Don't know if there's a date for that yet.

Re: SiliconDust

We like the SCRIBE in particular as a concept, but it uses a special drive that is specced for a heavier workload than a typical laptop drive, and the drives have to be ordered in huge quantities at relatively high prices since they're a niche product. We're exploring a number of alternatives to see...

Re: AppleTV App Cannot See HDHR-US

The HDHomeRun app will only work with legacy devices after a channel scan has been run in HDHomeRun Setup on Windows to store the lineup to our servers. The old devices lack the hardware capability to store the lineup locally.

Do you have the latest version of the HDHomeRun app installed? Check the gear menu and make sure it says Version 20240229 (App).

Topic split.

Did you go through the steps at viewtopic.php?p=309572#p309572 to migrate from the old SPK to the new SPK?
