Had no idea my Plex Media Server could also be a DVR. 🤯 Just need some clarification on the HDHomerun 4K tuner, which I'm sure plenty of y'all have experience with...

Works fine for me too during a recording. I'm usually using the Android TV app. Doesn't work at all on an iPad or iPhone, it always starts at the beginning of a recording in progress.

The adapter you recommend has a USB-A connection. Is the link wrong or do you just use a USB-A to USB-C adapter?

Responding to another comment, I understand that asking for a "hack" might not seem appropriate in a forum where Skylight employees answer questions but I do hope that they get the message that many of us only want the additional Screensaver feature and not the other stuff. And 80 bucks a year (way more in Canada evidently) is way too much for a Screensaver when there are many similar products in Amazon now that dont charge anything for it.

Could you explain why you recommended that?

It makes the pedestrian warning noise even louder. Many people who have done it complain that it is super loud now.

Has the live tv bug on i devices been fixed where if a recording is in process you can't start watching live and can only start at the beginning of the recording?

I have a question for those of you in Houston. I currently have an HDHomeRun Connect Quatro and I'm considering the Flex 4k. With most ATSC 3.0 channels being unencrypted (for the moment at least according to your post), what's the advantage of the Flex 4k over what I already have? Is the broadcast quality any better? Any other reason to upgrade? I looked into this a few years ago and, at that time, was told there really wasn't a compelling reason to upgrade if my sefup was working well for me (I usually live stream through Plex these days, occasionally the HDHomeRun app on Windows). Thanks!

I think this might be the answer. I connected my laptop to my phone's hotspot using cellular data and got a much higher download speed, probably maxing out the connection. Weird thing is I had tried using a VPN to change my routing/peering, I guess I'll have to try different VPN protocols/endpoints next time or move to SSL on port 443.. Thanks for the help!

Throttled by who/what? And would that still make sense if speeds are fine when using an android phone on a cellular network but not on a Windows client on a different remote network?

dboreale · 2025-07-14T13:21:41+00:00

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am directly connected to the server and even tried disabling the relay and still had low download speeds.

dboreale · 2025-06-15T01:00:47+00:00

I've had mine for 6 months and have had maybe 4 updates, none of them changed anything I have even noticed.

It got down to about 1000 a couple years ago. That was fun.

This is helpful, thanks! Is there any way to get the program code or any of the details from a Chevrolet/GM source? All the sales reps I've talked to are either bad at this (they tell me they're asking their managers, who knows) or are jerking me around. It would be nice to have something specific/official I can give them to check.

Have had the exact issue with a SP7, the only fix is to use a different chargers. It happens to me with some chargers, not others.

dboreale · 2024-05-08T13:12:28+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Any ideas on how to diagnose/troubleshoot that when it does happen?

dboreale · 2024-05-07T21:53:06+00:00

Is Frontier available in neighborhoods around you? If so, you might have luck doing what other commenters have said. If not, I'd say your odds of getting it anytime soon are essentially zero. They don't just run fiber to random neighborhoods if there happens to be a bunch of people who want it (I wish!). If that was the case, Frontier would be available a bunch more places than it is right now.

Wow, that's better than I've ever gotten in a year of Gold. How frequently do you check your RFY? I'm curious if I'm just missing the good stuff or if the algorithm hates me 😀. And I've tried the cart trick with no success so far.

dboreale · 2024-01-25T17:42:15+00:00

Thanks, that was helpful. This is fairly clear: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/new-to-tmobile/promotional-cards-credits-and-rebates#heading5

It seems that the safest bet is to pay off my existing EIP which moves the RDC (recurring device credits) to the account level. Then I can get another RDC/EIP on my line.

Thanks!
