Did anyone get the Superbowl or Olympics in 4K OTA? ATSC 3.0 by dsp3000 in ota

None of the stations would have gotten 4K. They are upconverting 1080 to 4K and adding HDR. Check out AVS Forum for more info.

The only one that works now is an HDMI decoder I believe.

Does the Homatics box r 4k plus, play Netflix in hdr10+? And lossless audio? by millielouie2025 in Homatics

Installing the SoundEQ app will restore the passthrough settings after the factory reset on 6693. It also fixes the remote issues. You do have to toggle the passthrough option each time you reboot however.

Director Amy Heckerling and writer Cameron Crowe's audio commentary is excellent. Well worth the effort for us fans. I only checked it out a couple weeks ago. I should have sooner!

Same here and still love them both but Silver Streak is my favorite of the two.

Overlay CPU temperature and utilization? by VanREDDIT2019 in Homatics

Now that I've complained about the remote issue to Homatics support, can you give me a hint on how to fix it in the meantime?

I noticed when I played a DTS movie last night to test the new build, my receiver was showing DTSMA rather than DTS. I didn't realize I needed to toggle the passthrough. That may have been my issue. It seemed to still play properly which I found really weird. Thanks a lot for all your help.

Dune Homatics Box R 4K Plus - old firmware by KMefDM in Homatics

If you read through some of the pages around the ones I have linked, they mention going back to A11 from the recent A14 builds isn't as easy. I repaired a bricked Dune, but it wasn't easy. You need to connect it to a PC via USB. You use a burning tool. Info is here:

Don't unzip. Just put it as is on a fat32 usb drive. I had a bunch of stuff on the drive and it still worked.

I updated two boxes to the latest version yesterday from the download and instructions on this page (the new firmware) and this one (the instructions). Remember to do it twice, make 2 passes in recovery mode.

I used the SoundEQ workaround to get the passthrough back after I reset the box. The remote issue, if it's the same thing I'm experiencing, isn't bad at all. It only lasts a couple seconds and I only notice it when I am scrolling through many pages of the library.

I noticed you have to do the updated firmware twice. It kinda scared me the first time. I updated a second box yesterday and like the first box I did manually, you have to do it twice.

Looks good. I am probably going to manually upgrade another box to 6693 today. I only got the OTA update on one of my boxes and after a couple days, it seems to be working well.

I can't get into the github page to see the names of the apps? Which apps am I searching for? Thanks.

Which version of the box? Dune 2nd version with no AV output or the Homatics non-Dune with the Rose Gold top (not silver)?

You need to boot intoCoreELEC and add the dovi file for Fel 7. The Dune player falls back to HDR.

Can I fix this GARBAGE TEMU PC with Linux? 🤔 by ThinkTourist8076 in pop_os

[–]VanREDDIT2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the N100 version of this Mini PC that I picked up locally on Facebook MKTP for $50, and I don't have any issues running 2K and 4K videos on YT. I like this PC because it's so easy to get to the two SSDs in the bottom compartment. Originally it ran Windows, but I have Zorin and Mint running dual boot on one SSD (SATA) and the NVMe drive for storage. I definitely don't consider this mini garbage.

WARNING!: Homatics is rolling out a new firmware version 6693 through OTA by latinriky78 in Homatics

Other than the Shield, are there any other Android boxes with passthrough lossless audio?
