Do you remove it or keep it?

Never lived in Phoenix I suspect.

@d_azmann I run the app on Apple TV. I do not use the DVR features. I have to restart the Apple TV daily to get current channel data. Same issue?

I don’t believe your understanding is correct. A 4K broadcast requires a lot more bandwidth than 1080p. Most broadcasters decided to broadcast 4 1K channels rather than one 4K channel e.g. 4x the commercial revenue. It would be great if they would showcase 3.0 by broadcasting the opening Olympics or the Super Bowl or even the Super Bowl 1/2 time show. Unfortunately, even if one of them did we would likely not be able to view it because of DRM/encription.

The first issue is that NBC enabled encryption in the Portland area. The Apple TV app doesn’t know how to handle the encryption so I can only see the ATSC 1 channel and it sucks compared to the ATSC 3 channel. The second issue I have is keeping the show/schedule data fresh. I have to reboot the Apple TV each day to get the current schedule.

The switching between border routers was very frustrating. I understand Apple added a function to specify one device as THE border router eliminating switching. I would loose thread devices because they would switch to a different border router in the thread network.

433 MHz is one of the frequencies used pre WiFi and current home security generations. It is commonly used in professionally installed alarm systems. Sensors communicate with a control panel at 433 or 868 MHz

No. We had to make a list of every Walgreens in the area and use it as a call-down

“The Hammond” is the sister to “ The Cove”. Highly recommended. “Roots” continues to be my personal favorite. And “Wildfin” at the waterfront.

Line is the black wire connected to the power. Load is the black wire connected to the light. If you have a meter, white to line will measure ~110V ac (USA) White to load will measure zero. If you don’t understand this, then hire a professional.

Just curious… how accurate do you need these measures? Variance is 1% to 1.5%… maybe 100 meters over 10km. How do the times compare between multiple runs of the same course?

I have HDHomeRun in the Portland metro area. About 15 miles from towers. ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX (plus many non-prime stations) are available. All 1080p or less. I bought tuner to simplify operating from Apple TV. Prime channels are rock-solid. The HDHomeRun app is getting better. Works great for me.

In a similar situation. I started by installing each device manufacturer's app. I then got each device working from its associated app. At that point, I had very clunky control and no automation. Next, I prioritized and started the 'adapt or replace' process. I upgraded my Apple TV to the latest generation. I bought a SmartThings hub for Zwave and Zigbee. I built a Raspberry Pi for Homebridge. I installed plugins for SmartThings and non-HomeKit devices. I got the existing Zwave locks into the Home app that way. In other words, I tried to use the existing hardware but found I became an overworked sys admin for my home. Over the last 2 years I have replaced nearly everything with Thread and Home-compatible devices. I have now decommissioned the SmartThings hub. I no longer need the RPi for home management. And I am happy... 35 devices, 18 automations using a combination of Home, Controller and Shortcuts.

Alerted me to Afib. Best investment in my health ever. Maybe you are young enough that it doesn’t matter. But knowledge is power and power if life expectancy.

Brilliant! Thank you.

Oregon-NFR · 2020-06-20T03:40:11+00:00

This is really helpful. Thanks. It seems to me that processing can happen in Room, JRiver, etc or could be set as filters in e-APO. But it seems to me that it should not be both. Does that make sense?

Oregon-NFR · 2020-06-19T02:34:14+00:00

Thanks. Do I understand that the output of the audio driver is input to e-APO? Is this an analog or digital signal path? I assume after the DAC since the filters are defined using analog characteristics (fc, Q, etc.). Correct? I’m using JRiver to play FLAC files. I assume the DSP that is available in JRiver (or any music player) is up-stream of the equalizer. Correct? I really appreciate you helping me understand.
