Verizon 5G Home Internet Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

[…]For regular browsing and work-from-home, it’s been fine for me though. Can you access a VPN with Verizon 5G Home Internet? Yes. Why can’t I access the gateway’s web portal?

Ten Ways To Save Money On Your Cell Phone Bill in 2023

[…]of the cost of their regular plans. As of this writing, AT&T’s prepaid plans start at $25/month with Verizon and T-Mobile’s starting at $40/month for a single line. What’s the catch? Well, you do have to “prepay”, up to a year at a time if you want to get the lowest rates. But the savings are so huge, it’s more than worth it. Also, these plans often do not include international roaming, so if you travel a lot, you might be better off with a traditional plan. But for most people, pre-paid plans can save a ton of money! 3.

A Comparison of the Best Broadcast TV Recorders (DVRs) in 2024

[…]TiVo Edge for Antenna has two tuners and an internal 500GB hard drive for recording. I got mine with the All-In Service where you pay a flat fee for lifetime channel guide access, which makes the total cost of ownership less than that of the Tablo with channel guide. Setting up the Tivo Edge for Antenna requires that it be connected to a TV via HDMI and some settings are only available through that connected TV. Therefore, if you get this unit, you’ll probably want to keep it near your primary TV even though you can watch recorded shows on […]

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

[…]DVR subscription requirement, I would have been tempted to return the product as defective at this point! Instead, opened a ticket with SiliconDust to confirm that I really did need a subscription to use the DVR feature, and they sent me a link to their DVR page which led me to where I could buy the subscription. Again, it would have been nice if the app had told me that or if there had been a sheet of paper in the box with that link! DVR Functionality: Great After It’s Set Up!

How to Lower Your Cable or Satellite TV Bill

[…](on the other hand, sometimes keeping services will actually result in a lower bill, see below). With Internet access, there are often unpublicized cheaper plans if you can accept slower download speeds.  I know that doesn’t sound appealing, but going from 30Mbps to 20Mbps is not really noticeable for people doing normal things like normal web surfing and watching online videos. 2. Eliminate Rental Fees Some cable companies charge you to rent a cable TV box, remote control, or Internet modem.  Check your bill for any rental fees.  If you don’t have premium channels, and you own a modern flat-screen […]

[…]support from those companies, where it’s virtually impossible to speak to a human being. Not so with Tablo. Their phone number with support hours is listed right on their support page: To research this article, I called their customer support and got a human being in about two minutes.

Less than a week later, there was a firmware update that fixed the problem. Now, I don’t know if they did that based on my bug report, but it […]

[…]out there. I did some research and chose Mint Mobile because they offered an insane $15/month plan with 5GB of data (originally 4GB, 2GB more data than my $55/month plan from T-Mobile). You can get 10GB of data on their $20/month plan. Both require a one-year pre-payment to get these rates, although there was a three-month introductory special when I signed up. They also have an unlimited data plan for $30/month with a one-year pre-payment. Mint Mobile also has great reviews online.

If you don’t want to pay, you can still get “access to basic recording and Live TV functionality” with one day’s worth of channel guide data but no cover art or recording by series.

If you want to record a show more than 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 […]

For example, if you unplug a drive without “ejecting” it using the software, you may have to do a factory reset to be able to use it again.
