[…]improves performance. If it does, at least you know what the problem is. You can try playing with antenna position inside your home, or you might need to get an outdoor antenna installed. If All Else Fails… If none of these work, the problem may be at Tablo’s servers.

The Number One Mistake to Avoid When Buying a New TV

[…]requires a tuner, so you shouldn’t notice any differences in setup. Now if you use an external antenna to watch free local channels, you will need to get a separate tuner adapter to connect your antenna to your display. Everything they say here is true, but this statement is buried way down on their site. If you look on Amazon, it’s really hard to tell that this “TV” has no tuner! Plus, few people will know to look for this. Ever since TVs first came out, they included a tuner that allowed you to connect antennas to them.  Now suddenly, […]

Proof That Broadcast TV Picture Quality is Better Than Satellite

[…]and did the same on my own TV (of similar size and type, and in the same city) using an indoor TV antenna. Here are the results. Direct Comparison Use the slider to compare the image from satellite (left) and broadcast TV (right): Notice how jagged the curves and letters are on left. The “abc7.com” text is especially crappy. The signal is coming from the satellite box’s HDMI output to the TV. Notice the same logo on the right, but using a broadcast TV antenna. Not only are the edges and curves smoother, but there is also less “halo” effect […]

How to Eliminate TV Interference from Your Amazon Fire TV Stick

[…]problem (other than just not using your Stick). 1. Wrap It In Foil Multiple sources on the forums plus my reader confirm that wrapping the Amazon Fire TV Stick in tinfoil solves the interference problem! The foil acts as an electromagnetic shield around the Stick, preventing the worst interference from escaping. Theoretically, a perfect shield would also prevent your wireless remote and Wi-Fi from working with the Stick. But, no one has reported that problem. If you do have problems with your remote not working or Wi-Fi not connecting after you wrap the Stick, try leaving some gaps in the […]

The site is completely free to use, but since it is crowdsourced, there is no guarantee of 100% accuracy. It might be, say only 80% accurate, but that may be enough for you to get an idea of […]

Amazon Fire TV Recast: a Slick DVR from Amazon (Discontinued)

[…]there’s very little physical hookup required, other than plugging in power and connecting the antenna. Because the Recast doesn’t connect to your TV directly, you can put it anywhere in your home, ideally somewhere where your antenna strength is greatest, like upstairs, or even an attic! The Fire TV app will guide you through the configuration process step by step. You’ll have to temporarily switch to the Recast’s Wi-Fi network on your device during the process, but the app does a good job of holding your hand as you go. It will even tell you which direction to point your […]

Streaming Media Players: Which One Should You Get?

[…]streaming services in existence. Roku by itself is not a direct replacement for cable TV or an antenna. There are lots of free channels on Roku, but the most popular ones like Netflix, Disney+, or Hulu require payment. Out of the box, you can’t simply stream all of the network stations on your Roku like you would with cable TV or an antenna (without adding other stuff). It’s a convenient and easy way to watch content from the Internet on your TV. Having said, that, there are a lot of free channels such as Pluto TV, Tubi TV, YouTube, and many more. […]

Tablo Dual Lite Broadcast TV DVR Review

[…]I like watching TV from my computer browser and on my phone, and I like putting my Tablo near my antenna rather than near my TV. Network-Connected Tablo Setup My Network-Connected Tablo was easy to set up. I plugged in power, an antenna, and a hard drive and then started the Wi-Fi setup process. I used an iPad to connect to Tablo’s Wi-Fi network, then entered my home Wi-Fi name and password (note I had to use my non-5GHz network). I also had to do two firmware updates, but that wasn’t difficult. After that, I let the Tablo scan for […]

My Review of the SiliconDust HDHomeRun Tuner/DVRs (FLEX and SCRIBE)

[…]could purchase a wirelss-to-wired Wi-Fi extender with Ethernet. I like putting my DVR close to my antenna, which is far from my router, so requiring wired Ethernet is not ideal for me because I don’t want to run cables throughout my home. The Tablo and AirTV are two DVRs that have Wi-Fi if you don’t want to run Ethernet to your DVR. Next Gen TV ATSC 3.0? The Flex Duo (which I reviewed) does not support ATSC 3.0.

I use these occasionally and always cancel after […]

Review: The AirTV 2 Broadcast TV DVR

[…]you do a channel scan, you’re ready to start watching live TV assuming you’ve connected an antenna. One note, if you reset your AirTV, you’ll have to delete it from your app in order to restart the pairing process. Tuner Quality The AirTV’s tuner is excellent. My AirTV 2 picked up a whopping 169 channels in Los Angeles. More importantly, it was able to find VHF channel 13 and its sub-channels (where I watch Star Trek on Heroes and Icons), which my Tablo Dual Lite DVR wasn’t. So, that is a big win for AirTV! The tuner brings in more […]
