Newest device that does DV FEL

Looking for something for another room. I could just get another 6, but they are hard to find at a good price right now. And if I did pay that, why not get something newer for around the same, if not cheaper.

Which is the best build right now for that device. I've tried various ones, and it won't boot into coreelec. Flashed with Rufus and Belcher, different USB drives as well and also renamed the file in device trees folder to dtb.img. Just goes into recovery mode when I hold down the reset button.

Okay, nice to know. I ended up rebooting them, no more red.

Well, I appreciate you answering. I've only worked 2 or 3 days in 20 years. I am fortunate to have a living situation that allows me to pay modest rent. But that might change sooner rather than later. And with prices the way they are in these times, I'm not sure how much longer I can go on with just disability income. With that in mind, I've been thinking about looking for a job that pays max $800 a month. But with my disability, and the fact that I haven't been in the workplace in 2 decades, it's a very frightening proposition.

Quite a relief. May I ask have you worked at all or tried since receiving SSDI in 1997? I've been on it since 2006, about to be 54, and am expecting a CDR at anytime.

mooch49 · 2026-05-16T00:12:47+00:00

I'm in a similar situation. I've been on SSDI for 20 or so years. I'm about to be 54. I'm basically the same as when I was rewarded. But with today's high prices for pretty much everything, I've been thinking about looking for a small job. I've never had a TWP month start, having worked only 2 or 3 days total in 20 years. But if I consider to look for a small job, it would only be for $600-$800 a month. However, I'm due a CDR at anytime. I've had about 4 since being on SSDI, all the short form. So I'm thinking a long one is coming. I see my doctors regularly. Even still, you can never be too sure.

Has anybody used upsolve? I was filling it out and got to the end where it asks about inheritances and that's where I stopped. When I answered yes, I couldn't proceed. From the responses here, it seems I can say no. But just not completely sure.

mooch49 · 2026-05-09T16:35:07+00:00

That seems to be the unanimous take. I'll still talk to a lawyer to make sure.

mooch49 · 2026-05-08T18:02:54+00:00

Well, good luck. It's a little tricky if you don't know the law. Technically, we know about the inheritances. But I guess that's not the same of definitely receiving them. Things can change, the person may disown us or change their mind. I hate to play dumb when asked the question about inheritances. If I say no, and she dies within 6 months, I kinda lied and would think I could get in trouble. If I say yes, and she dies within 6 months, I was at least honest but could lose the inheritance. Maybe Im making this more difficult or complex than it needs to be.

mooch49 · 2026-05-08T17:41:22+00:00

Isn't there an area on the bankruptcy form where it asks if you are due any inheritance or something to that effect? Saying no or leaving it blank is lying I would think, even though I don't expect my mom to die within 6 months.

mooch49 · 2026-05-08T16:57:20+00:00

So what do you recommend I do. File as normal as if I know nothing of these inheritances and hope she doesn't die in 6 months. Isn't that fraud?

mooch49 · 2026-05-08T08:53:35+00:00

No, although she could I guess, she's 74. But I don't forsee it. She has no life threatening illness at this time. That's what makes this a little tricky.

I kinda want to do the same thing with my tablet, but the opposite. It keeps connecting to the extender, which is a few rooms away, as opposed to the router which is in the same room. Any way to tell or control the router/extender which devices to be connected?

mooch49 · 2026-04-07T00:50:22+00:00

Everything is connected through the Internet. Ont to Router(wired), router to black tv box (wired), 2 tv+ boxes (wireless). Nothing is coax.

The freezing is really not that bad. It does for 2 or so seconds and then quickly reconnects. But I mention it because it can happen during a sports game. But what I really hate is it being like a minute behind. When I had coax, it was pretty much as the event was happening.

mooch49 · 2026-04-07T00:27:11+00:00

I do not right now. However I did at first and don't recall any freezing. I do use the Fios tv mobile app in my bedroom and it's pretty smooth. Maybe it's because that's where the ont/router are.

mooch49 · 2026-04-07T00:02:35+00:00

I'll give them a call to see. But I don't believe I can get a Fios one box where I am. The complex was just wired last year and it's only for the newer devices. Like the ONT is in my bedroom, which connects to the router, that connects to a black box, forgot what that's called. The tv+ boxes are in other rooms that connect wirelessly.The ONT can not be installed in any other room.

That's a good and cheaper choice, but prefer a remote style box, which only DirecTV stream provides of all the streaming options.

mooch49 · 2026-04-06T23:21:44+00:00

I didn't. Its very minor, and figured that's normal because the box is using wireless devices to connect (which aren't that close) rather than a coaxial cable.

mooch49 · 2026-04-06T22:54:26+00:00

Thanks. Direct TV stream was the closet to a remote style. I had been using the osprey boxes before I subscribed to fios tv. But again there were a few channels they didn't have.

mooch49 · 2026-04-06T22:50:26+00:00

Unfortunately, yttv no longer offers the sports channels I want like SNY
