[…]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 […]
[…]is provide a signal strength meter. This can be VERY useful if you’re trying to fine-tune your antenna placement. To get to this signal strength meter, tune to the desired channel, then press MENU on the remote and cursor over to Channel Search, then select Manual Search. You should see the screen above with signal strength meter (Quality) on the bottom. Summary Since I reviewed this unit, Homeworx came out with a new and improved version in 2022. It has generally the same feature set, but the software is more stable and the remote control feel is improved. I’m linking […]
[…]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. The Flex Scribe 4K and Flex Quattro (AKA Flex 4K) claim to support ATSC 3.0 (Next Generation TV) on two tuners. However, […]
[…]cable channels for $20/month, it’s illegal. Look at the cost of each service and add it up. The Antenna Man talks about more ways to spot illegal services: What to Do Instead For these reasons, I only endorse legal sources of free and cheap TV and movies on DisableMyCable.com. So, feel free to use any of the services that I mention on my site without fear! I personally pay very little for TV and movies, because I use an antenna to get FREE HD-quality broadcast TV, and I watch a lot of YouTube, which has some really great content. I have […]

[…]providers. In the comments below, reader Wade points out that you could add a splitter to your antenna cable and feed the other antenna signal directly to your TV for viewing when there is no Internet. Thermal Management Some users had heat issues with the previous generation Tablos, causing some to even place a PC cooling fan below their units. The new Tablo bottom case is warm to the touch, but not as hot as the old Tablo. It has cooling holes on the bottom, but I wish it had some on the top. I haven’t had any overheating problems, […]
[…]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 […]
[…]I would steer away from these unless you absolutely need these channels and cannot use an antenna. Check to see if you can use an antenna here. Fubo TV – For sports lovers Fubo TV started in 2015 as a streaming service specializing in soccer channels but they’ve added mainstream channels to become a legit all-around streaming service. They’re still heavy on sports with the recent addition of ESPN. Starting cost is $74.99 per month for 172 channels and $84.99 for 239 channels, which is in the same ballpark as cable TV, so you should really think about whether you need […]
[…]to watch broadcast TV If you’re using a separate converter box to pick up broadcast TV with an antenna, you can ditch that and plug your antenna straight into the majority of new TVs (except for some Vizio TVs which are sold as “displays”). You can then ditch the separate remote control. I did some testing and my new Samsung tuner picks up more channels than my old Sony did! 3. Your current TV screen is too small A bigger screen definitely makes a difference in your viewing experience, so if your current TV screen is too small, I believe […]
[…]still a lot of people who live too far from the TV transmitters to get free broadcast TV using an antenna. If you are one of them, here are some ideas. Note, many of these require Internet access. Free Options The options below are free, though some have paid add-ons. Some require high-speed Internet access and a device (phone, tablet, or computer) to view them on. 1. Pluto TV Pluto TV is an Internet streaming service that offers live streaming TV and on-demand movies It’s available as a website or on streaming devices like Roku. No, it doesn’t offer the […]
[…]and that became a coax cable pointing back at the user. The rest of the “y” became a flat antenna receiving a signal from the sky. Thus my logo was born! The Finished Logo I’m happy with how it turned out. I’m not saying that you should always design your own logo. In fact, for a “real” business, you should probably hire a professional. But why not have a little fun first and give it a try? At the very least, it can be a starting point when you do hire a professional designer. I definitely think this new logo is lot […]
[…]cut ‘em. Are you paying to get cable on additional TVs in your home that could be using an antenna? Do you really still need a landline when you are also paying for a cell phone? See if eliminating it will lower your 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 […]
[…]data rates. If, like me, you have the ASK-NCQ1338/FA/E gateway, you can’t attach an external antenna. However, you can put your SIM card into a different router that can handle an external antenna. Needless to say, do these at your own risk! I’m sure these would invalidate any kind of warranty on the device. I’m way too scared to try these because I work from home and can’t afford to have my Internet go down. But, these are some pretty cool ideas! Oh, and here’s an article from that same company on how to tell where your 4G and 5G […]
[…]loses connection occasionally, etc., it is worth upgrading. The new Chromecast offers better Wi-Fi antenna for more reliable streaming, faster processor for faster load times, and some other cosmetic features like more color choices. Summary Chromecast is good at doing one thing: mirroring content from a computer’s browser to your TV. You have almost unlimited access to the Internet on your TV and you’re not limited to “apps” (unless you’re using a mobile device). But, Chromecast requires that you use your computer or mobile device to watch TV, which might be inconvenient. If you want a more classic TV viewing experience (i.e., […]
[…]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. Do I need direct […]
[…]have a modern flat TV, you should be able to get most of the network channels for free using an antenna. Check out DisableMyCable.com for more info on this! And yes, it’s true that “bundling saves money”, but not if you don’t use all of the bundled services. It’s also true that cable companies are raising the cost of Internet-only service, so be sure to compare. It might make sense to bundle the first year, then drop TV and phone after. Any other ideas to save on Internet access? Please leave a comment. – […]
