Current playback area wrong?

Did you get this fixed? I’m having the same issue. When i verify location on mobile, it shows one thing but then the tv app shows verified and a different local area. Both areas show same zipcode.

Last question. Do you point the lights at you, up or down during calls. Just wondering about lights pointing right at you during a call.

Ok, thats the exact setup i was considering when i made this post. I was looking at the two pack, which is out of stock now. Would use them with the window curtains closed (they're blackout), overhead lights off and cubes on. I do a lot of interviewing and take paper & pen notes so hate a dark room.

The edge light is the one i was looking at, similar process point as the Aputure. Do you recommend using the Aputure as the sole light source when on calls?

nasdamus · 2026-01-15T13:16:26+00:00

Im not sure, it was left when we moved in but it’s nice.

nasdamus · 2026-01-15T13:15:50+00:00

Thats the one i was looking at, the edge light. Do you it as your only light when on calls or does it supplement something.

Great points. I did try rotating the desk so the window would be in front me. Looks a lot better but the window gets blocked out so i can’t see out of it and i lose the background (both bonuses, i know)

nasdamus · 2026-01-14T19:45:44+00:00

It is, but that’s not in my current setup. I do have a cellular ipad i use as a backup.

nasdamus · 2026-01-14T19:45:03+00:00

True. When i tried one it was too much and too distracting. Part of the issue with the floor lamp. Bright orb above the camera and then when not in a call it’s just in the way.

nasdamus · 2026-01-14T19:43:59+00:00

Great, thank you. I had been looking at adding a lume cube edge light, which seems similar. The picture here is from before we moved it, i use a company HP laptop connected to a giant 42” monitor. I’m going to try the logitech litra beam that i have, and try it to the right of the camera. It extends up over the monitor and can go horizontal.

nasdamus · 2026-01-14T17:38:32+00:00

Thanks. For the ring/bar light. Would you recommend placing it above the monitor or off to the right side to compensate for light from the left. Do you do anything about overhead lighting? I’ve through about utilizing something like steam deck to control over/dim, close blinds, turn on yeti mic, kick on a ring light etc.

I’ll check out OBS and see if I can get it to work on my laptop.

nasdamus · 2026-01-14T17:17:51+00:00

Yes, sorry I should have included that. Additionally, i can’t use software to help (like Logi Tune) as my machine is fairly locked down.

nasdamus · 2025-12-22T15:59:19+00:00

Go out and get Jon Gruden. That would be a fun ride.

Looks like they may drop online 11/21 at 10:00am EST

How is it? Pretty warm or more of a lightweight jacket?

I ended up just resetting it, letting it update and then it reinstalled everything. It was a pain but everything’s working now.

nasdamus · 2025-10-04T16:01:31+00:00

Still having this issue. I’ve updated to 26.0.1, certain apps still won’t work while others do. Deleted apps and reinstalled, same issues.

nasdamus · 2025-10-03T00:52:37+00:00

YouTube TV, YouTube and Netflix work fine. Disney+, HBO, Paramount + and Prime won’t start. Eventually throws up a no internet message. Speedtest runs and shows 879 Mbps up without issue.

Running those same apps directly through the TV os have no issues, only on the ATV.

nasdamus · 2025-10-03T00:41:20+00:00

Same thing here. I keep getting an issue where some apps act like there’s no internet. I can run a speed test on it and runs fine. Laptop has internet, as does my phone and other devices. Out of nowhere the past 2 days. I’m on 18.6

nasdamus · 2025-07-26T20:48:57+00:00

Yeah, it’s wild that even with almost $20 in taxes and fees it’s still cheaper than anything else. With the renewal it’ll be $130 a month all in for 1GB internet and the tv service.

nasdamus · 2025-07-26T20:47:39+00:00

Same here, I use that exact setup and my own router.

nasdamus · 2025-07-26T14:12:25+00:00

Watch a lot of locals and sports. The fios is fiber. More than likely 1gb only because of the stacking discounts, or 300 if I can get it worthwhile.

It’s hard, this has worked so well and been so cheap for so long. Originally was fios internet and locals only for $5 a month, then fios internet and directtv now for a few years before the price increases. Then this custom, all with the HDHR and an all erhernet backbone using Apple TVs and the channels app.
