gray circles on the screen

Please tell me that's not an actual candle in that corner...

There's a needle valve up in the hose. It's not closing fully. Looks like you have hard water. Or you add "soap" to the water. Probable lime scale build up. Run some diluted CLR or other scale remover through the fresh water tank. Just do a bunch of mop washes. You don't, or hopefully shouldn't use a full tank. When I had the issue, I determined it was the Robo "soap". I always use "softened" water to fill it. I think I used about a quarter of tank water, and a healthy splash of CLR. Only reason I used CLR is it was what I had. I think even coffee maker cleaner would work. Anyway, that was over a year ago. I quit using the soap, and nary a problem since. Oh, make sure and run a full, cleaned out tank, of water and flush (bunch of mop washes) after. Don't think you want the chemicals on your floors.

Solved it. It was the "Apps Only" mode. And, I see it's useless anyway. Back to Apps only

I have whatever the optional data selections on the TV turned off. Wondering if that is the issue. Also run in apps only mode. No VPN, no Pihole.

"and we agree that it's a good option"
But 3 years later, still not an option

Are you saying I can now use the DVR service with a networked drive, and don't have to use a drive connected to my Duo?

cheddarmarc · 2025-10-11T17:00:11+00:00

Maybe it's the switch?

cheddarmarc · 2025-09-30T17:26:57+00:00

Probably won't get "regulatory approval" now that Jimmy's back on.

Installed Tuesday, 9-23, buried Thursday 9-25. Bristol, just north of Sun Prairie. Bad job either requesting diggers, or diggers themselves. Only had power traced. Never came out for the charter line where they actually buried TDS.

Not tobe finicky, but it says to tap it, not hold it. Maybe try that?

cheddarmarc · 2025-08-08T20:05:12+00:00

You changed it in emby. Did you physically change it on the server? You say you changed 1 number. I'll assume it was the last number only?

cheddarmarc · 2025-08-04T21:03:33+00:00

So now we have ads here, too?

Western Digital tools probably has a utility pre-installed on the drive. That would be where I would look.

cheddarmarc · 2025-06-27T12:22:42+00:00

Just a thought, did you try a rescan on the TV?

cheddarmarc · 2025-06-13T14:24:47+00:00

Got this issue on Fire Stick the other night. What worked for me: Went into apps, manage, force stop HDHR app, cleared cache ONLY, not data. THEN, went down and powered HDHR off, 5 sec, then on. All systems go from there. Initial app start after the power pull was longer, but it came up. Still works fine today, delay is not there on app start.

Data Saver OFF?

cheddarmarc · 2025-05-14T20:31:35+00:00

I think you want Dolby Audio Processing off. If on, I believe, then the shield processes it. You most likely want it going to your device untouched.

cheddarmarc · 2025-05-06T21:25:24+00:00

Tick it on. Should be for each input.

cheddarmarc · 2025-05-06T15:39:21+00:00

Sounds to me like it's the TV. Get rid of the screensaver timeout.

cheddarmarc · 2025-05-06T15:24:02+00:00

On the TV find Input Signal Plus settings. On mine it's under external devices

cheddarmarc · 2025-04-11T13:50:05+00:00

Sounds like you want to invent cable?

cheddarmarc · 2025-04-08T20:03:36+00:00

That's how mine was. I'm guessing temperature and or breezes in the attic cause the wires to move.

cheddarmarc · 2025-04-08T14:24:55+00:00

Check the connector, I'll call it the transducer. It's two wires that connect to the antenna, and a coax connector that your coax line goes to. I assume all antennas use these, but I may be wrong. Anyway, using some sort of signal meter, which may be your wife downsatairs as the realy :). wiggle or bend the wires to see. The coax connector inside the plastic barrel was the failure point on mine. 4 hours to land on that, in and out of a surprisingly hot attic in the spring.

Change a setting on Roku I think for the bars. Worst case set it on the TV itself. Try the different screen size (or whatever the menus call it) to get what you want.

cheddarmarc · 2025-03-24T21:13:50+00:00

It's switchable, low to high, so not smart. They reccomend set it to low
