[…]corner of the app. Next, click “Local Channels”. Click “Connected Devices”. Click “My AirTV”. Scroll to the bottom and click “Remove AirTV”. This is the key step of the whole process! I wasn’t able to get the unit to recognize the drive without doing this: Do a factory reset on your AirTV by pushing a paperclip in the RESET hole in the back of the unit (keeping the unit powered on). When the unit resets, go through the setup process again, then plug in the drive. You may need to wait a few minutes for the app to recognize your […]
[…]You can watch one show while recording another, or record two shows at the same time. The Air TV’s sister product, AirTV Anywhere has an internal 1TB drive and four tuners, allowing you to record up to four shows at once. AirTV works in conjunction with the Sling app, but you don’t need a paid Sling subscription to use it; you can sign in for free. Note that SLING TV L.L.C. and AirTV L.L.C. are wholly owned subsidiaries of DISH Network Corporation. Although the AirTV 2 is a capable product, overall I recommend the Tablo Gen 4 for most people. […]
[…]it. It would definitely void any kind of warranty on the unit. The ASK unit does not have a way to attach external antennas. There is a newer tower unit, but no word yet on whether that can be hacked to attach an antenna. There are no obvious ports to do so. Can I swap out the SIMM and use it in a different gateway? It depends on which model you receive. The ASK-NCQ1338/FA/E model has a physical SIMM that you can remove and put in a different gateway, but again, this would void any kind of warranty on the unit. […]
[…]and coax cable. Each unit picked up exactly 145 channels. Next, I did a channel scan on my AirTV 2, which previously was able to find more channels than my Tablo Dual Light, but this time the AirTV 2 was only able to lock onto 105 channels. Notably, it wasn’t able to find the local ABC station while both Tablos were. It’s hard to draw firm conclusions from these somewhat contradictory results other than to say “your results may vary” and that all of these units were able to pick up a ton of channels. Or perhaps Tablo has made […]
[…]to run a lot of coax cable in your home. For example, you could stick your antenna in your attic and attach it to a Roku one foot away. Otherwise, you’d have to run a long cable to your TV from your attic. Or, put your antenna closer to your TV, which might not be optimal for reception. 3. Discovering New Content The channel guides in the Tablo and HDHomeRun apps show you a beautiful grid of upcoming TV shows and movies. This is a great way to discover old classic movies to record. Now, this feature does have a […]
[…]recording without instructions. I plugged in a USB solid-state hard drive that was previously formatted for my AirTV DVR. After formatting it in the web interface, it was recognized by the system. So far so good. The app let me easily set up shows to record. When I checked the Tasks tab, it showed them as queued up to record. But, when the time came to actually start recording, nothing was recorded! This was probably because I had not yet purchased a DVR subscription from SiliconDust. But, there was no indication in the app that this was the problem. It […]
[…]these drives are perfect to use with a Tablo, which is what I’m doing, or another DVR like the AirTV 2 that accepts USB hard drives! It works great in both of these DVRs, and I no longer need a separate power supply for my drive, making the whole thing less cluttered. The drive gets power right from the USB port and is really quiet! It’s kind of fitting that I’m using the hard drive from one DVR as the hard drive for another! I’m also going to hang onto the power supply and fan in case I can use […]
[…] I have all of the major streaming boxes, but I use Roku most often, especially now that it has AirPlay, allowing me to stream from my iPhone or iPad to my TV. For recording broadcast TV, I use the Tablo. I spend little to nothing on streaming TV services. I watch over-the-air broadcast TV, free video services like YouTube, and some pay services on a temporary basis to binge-watch certain shows, then I cancel them. Read more about my current antenna setup in my blog. Expanding to Cover Internet and Cellular Services As people have shifted away from traditional […]

[…]any content on your iPhone on your TV. It works great! These are the Roku models that support AirPlay: Roku Ultra (I have tested the 2018 Ultra) Roku Streambar Roku Smart Soundbar Roku Streaming Stick+ Roku Premiere Roku TV (select models only) Previously, AirPlay was pretty much the only reason I owned an Apple TV box. With this Roku software release, I’m packing up my Apple TV into my closet and solely using my Roku! Roku can mirror the screen of Android devices More info on mirroring from Android or Windows to Roku here. Streaming from USB Stick Roku devices with […]
[…]it on a wall. See my detailed review of the Antop HD Smart Bar Antenna. Good Non-Amplified Outdoor/Attic TV Antennas for VHF Channels If your TV stations are far away, or if you have weak VHF channels, you probably need to use an outdoor or attic antenna. But before going to the trouble of getting one though, I highly recommend asking one of your neighbors how many channels they are getting with their rooftop antenna. Consider hiring a professional antenna installer as well. Antennas Direct and Channel Master are two respected antenna companies with high-quality outdoor antennas. I have purchased from them […]
While discovering free and cheap ways to watch TV is a good thing, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. In 2017, the average American spent almost four hours a day watching television! That’s a HUGE amount of time to spend staring at a TV screen! What could you accomplish with that time? When you look back on your life, will you wish you did something else with that time? Giving Up TV for Lent This year, Lent runs from Wednesday, March 2nd to Thursday, April 14th, 2022. That’s 40 days x 4 hours = 160 hours […]
[…]a DVR, it might be nice to plug in a USB drive anyway so that you can pause live TV. After I formatted the drive, I tried searching backward while watching live TV, but it wouldn’t let me. I had to first pause to enter recording mode, then resume play. Then, it would let me rewind to the point at which I hit the pause button, or forward to the current time. Not the end of the world. You can also just hit the record button to start a recording that you want to save. Super easy! If you go […]
[…]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 antenna! Tuner Quality One thing I always look at in a DVR is the quality of the tuner. So, I did a scan using my very […]
[…]You Get The Amazon Fire TV Stick comes with a surprising amount of stuff: remote control with batteries, power adapter and USB cable, quick start guide, and short HDMI extender cable so you can mount the stick behind your TV easier. Installation Installing the Stick on your TV is pretty simple with a few caveats. First, Amazon recommends using the HDMI extender for optimal Wi-Fi performance. If you can plug in your stick directly into the side of your TV, and it works fine (as it did with mine), then leave it. Otherwise, plug the stick into the extender, then […]
[…]of my selected channels permanently). If your TV remote is still not working, try replacing the batteries. How to Remove (Hide) a Channel on the Sony Bravia TV To remove channel 5.1, or any channel on your Sony Bravia TV, press the Home button on your remote, then the left arrow key to go to the Settings menu. Go down to Show/Hide channels and select it: Next, scroll to the offending channel (5.1 in this case) and click “Shown” in order to change it to “Hidden”. Remember to do all of this while the antenna is unplugged or else your […]
[…]24 hours out, you have to do it manually, which requires you to know exactly when the show will air. So, even though I hate paying monthly fees, I would say subscribing is highly recommended if you’re serious about watching OTA TV. The grid is so nice that it makes me feel like I have Netflix even though I don’t! Tuner Quality An important part of any broadcast TV DVR is the tuner, because it helps determine how many channels you can get. While the tuner in my Tablo got about the same number of channels that my old Sony TV […]
[…]Second Antenna I have a second antenna (another Mohu Leaf) in the skylight of my condo attached to a Tablo for recording. This is the highest point in my condo and has good reception. If you have a skylight, definitely try putting your antenna in it! Using the Tablo means that I don’t have to run the antenna cable all the way to my TV. It just goes to my Tablo, which connects to my home’s Wi-Fi network. I use the Tablo app on my Roku to view live or recorded TV on the Tablo. In case you’re wondering why […]
[…]won’t interfere with each other. These types of antennas are usually mounted outdoors or in an attic. Practically speaking, however, I have had success combining two of the same type of indoor antenna when the TV signals are coming from different directions. You can use a coupler to attach two antennas to your TV and point them in different directions to get both sets of signals. Of course, this requires you to buy another antenna, plus a coupler to combine the signals, plus some more coax cable. You’ll get the best results if you use a “coupler”, instead of a […]
[…]or outdoor wall. These don’t require routing a lot of cables, crawling on your roof or in your attic, or setting up poles. The only thing you have to do is find a way to route the antenna cable from your TV to the outside. Test Results I tested the small, inexpensive Channel Master Stealthtenna 50 outdoor antenna against my trusty old Mohu Leaf to see how much improvement I could get with a small outdoor antenna mounted on my first-floor balcony. The answer is “a lot”! As a baseline, I did a scan using my Mohu Leaf antenna, located […]
