[…]station logo and channel number on the left (unlike the Air TV app, Sling TV, which only shows the station logo). Click any show to watch it or to record that episode or all episodes of that show. Simple! If you watch a show on iPhone, it is always displayed in landscape mode. On iPad you can watch in landscape or portrait modes: Picture quality looked excellent to me, at least as good as any other DVR apps I’ve tried (more on this below). You can pause live TV, which in effect, starts recording the show from that point on. […]
[…]simple and gets the job done. I like how it displays the channel number, and not just the station logo like some other DVRs do. At this point, I was super impressed! Setting up the tuner and watching live TV were almost effortless, not even requiring me to initiate a channel scan! Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about the DVR functionality. DVR Setup: No Included Documentation! First of all, there was no mention of DVR functionality in the included quickstart guide of my FLEX DUO (perhaps something is included with the SCRIBE model?). The web portal does have a […]
[…]there is a “Locals” tab that allows you to see only your broadcast TV channels. The TV station’s logo is shown to identify the channel, which is great, but I wish it also displayed the actual channel number as well. As with the other DVRs, it takes a long time (over 5-6 seconds) to switch from viewing one channel to another. With these devices, it’s best to just look at the channel guide to decide what to watch rather than to surf.

[…]RI is a city of fewer than 200,000 people, to give you an idea. Using the FCC’s Station Finder, I determined which channels were available in my area. The stations labeled “strong” came in pretty much wherever I put my antenna. The ones labeled “weak” required very specific tweaking… sometimes inches mattered. Now that I have lived without cable for a while, do I miss cable? Absolutely not! In the modern era of streaming channels, you can get plenty of free content, along with a lot of low-cost paid content for much less than the cost of cable TV. And, […]

[…]an additional 20 feet of un-amplified cable run from your antenna can cause you to lose a weak station. That is also why you shouldn’t use a passive (non-powered) splitter for this application. In my experiments, a passive splitter will cause you to lose signal strength and possibly lose the weaker stations. Give it a try and let us know your […]

[…]So, save money and get a quality antenna to start with. A VHF TV Antenna You Can Mount Indoors The Station Finder will tell you if the channels in your area are VHF (It will say “Lo-V” or “Hi-V”) or UHF. VHF channels are more difficult to receive. Even “green” (strong) VHF channels might be hard to pick up with your indoor antenna. If mounting an antenna outside is not an option for you, check out the indoor/outdoor Antop HD Smart Bar antenna. It can stand up anywhere in a room, or you can mount it on a wall. See […]

[…]of other channels, including my local CBS and NBC stations. What happened?? Well, I went on the Station Finder and noticed that my local CBS station, KCBS normally on channel 2.1 on my TV, had moved and had an RF channel of 34. Well, I know that modern TVs have the ability to map a channel’s physical RF channel to a different tuner channel on your TV to make it so the channel number you know and love never changes, even if the physical frequency changes. So, theoretically, I should have been able to see KCBS on channel 2.1, but […]
