We have had a scribe Quattro for I suppose three years or so (as I haven't gotten around to finishing the mythtv that it's supposed to be feeding). It did fine with a simple RCA antenna on our front porch (and actually does better on the weaker subchannels than our Sony 55")
We moved a few days ago, and now it's lost channels and can't find them!
I've rescanned about a dozen times, from both the appletv and my Mac, and they don't return. However, on the first scan, it did pick up channel 37, which we couldn't get at the old place.
It's not blockage; those channels worked fine right until they disappeared (my wife's favorite morning news is on one). When I plug the same antenna directly to a television, these channels come in fine.
At this point, I'm just plain baffled.
Channels lost and can't be found!
Re: Channels lost and can't be found!
hmm.
I moved it upstairs and found a high position where it gets them all.
But that suggests that the tuner is far less sensitive than a television? whereas previously it was noticeably better on a week signal than our Sony?

Re: Channels lost and can't be found! Now not connecting to router!
I had planned on pulling that tomorrow, moving it downstairs for that.
But now the unit isn't responding. I went for an unsuccessful nap at halftime of the Skunk Bowl, and it wasn't the n network anymore when I came back down.
It goes to a green light on the network line, but has a flashing red led in the middle of the back of it.
On the router it plugs to, the plug has an orange light, rather than the green like to my mesh router (and every other successful connection light I've ever seen).
might this be a weak power supply? [but having just moved, I hav en't found my cache of those yet. Not sure if any would do 1.5A of 5v, though . . . maybe I have a plug in my parts bin and can connecti it to my bench supply . . .]
And it appears that the scribe is no longer available, but you now pay for schedule information? I've assumed that I was currently pulling this info OTA, but is it perhaps coming from SD? And just what size is that plug? 2.5mm? 3.5mm? {in another area I just would have taken it into Radio Shack, or Frys, or . . .}]

Re: Channels lost and can't be found!
Green on the network port but red separate LED would likely indicate a problem with the hard drive. The different color on the router side is normal, as it is a 100Mb/s connection and most routers do a different color for 100 than they do for 1000.
The plug on the SCRIBE Quatro (HDVR-4US) is 4.0mm OD, 1.7mm ID.
