I’ve compiled all of the questions I’ve received on my blog and YouTube channel about Verizon 5G Home Internet here in one handy place for you to reference! Is it reliable and fast? For most people, including myself, it is reliable and fast. I’m on a plan that maxes out at 300 Mbps and I typically see download speeds of 220 to 280 Mbps, and sometimes even over 300 Mbps! Regarding reliability, I do occasionally have my Internet access go down, maybe once a month. A power cycle of my gateway fixes this in a few minutes. What should I […]
[…]channel scans on each using the exact same antenna 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 […]
[…]like Samsung for instance, are known to have better quality tuners (i.e., they bring in more channels). Depending on what brand of TV you have, a DVR might bring in more channels. I’ve found the best tuners in the AirTV 2, HDHomeRun, and TiVo Edge DVRs. 6. Watching TV on Other Devices at Home A DVR lets you watch TV shows on other devices such as a computer screen with a web browser. After getting a DVR, I discovered that I enjoyed watching shows on my computer, sometimes in a small window in the corner of my screen, while doing […]
[…]you do need a browser to access all of the settings of this product. Tuner Quality Judging by the channels my unit found, the HDHomeRun tuner quality is excellent. It found all of the channels that I watch normally, including some that my other DVRs failed to find. Other reviewers online have also praised the HDHomeRun tuner. Picture quality was great: as good as or better than the other network-attached DVRs that I’ve tested. Of course, a DVR that you plug directly into your TV via HDMI (like the TiVo Edge for Antenna) will have better picture quality though. Watching […]
[…]with an IP address geo-located in your area. So, just something to consider if you stream local TV channels. Personally, I use a TV antenna for local channels so I don’t have this problem, but not everyone can get broadcast TV signals. Reliability vs. Coax Cable Internet Despite the account creation headaches, I still like Verizon’s actual 5G Internet service overall. So far, it’s been fast, reliable, and trouble-free, and it has saved me hundreds of dollars in the first year. I believe that using CATV coax cable to send high-speed data is going to go obsolete, kind of like […]
[…]Hands down, the TiVo was the fastest DVR that I’ve tested, taking only 2-3 seconds to tune a new channel after selecting it in the channel guide. Nice! I was able to pause live TV, then fast forward to the current time with no problems. I also love the remote control. It’s pretty chunky, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The buttons feel great, with a tactile click when you press them, as opposed to most other remotes that have buttons that feel like mush. Most other DVRs do not come with a remote; they rely on the set-top […]
[…]similar to Pluto TV’s. I was stoked to be able to watch The Walking Dead on one of these channels. The channel guide is what you would expect with each row being a different channel and the columns being times. If you view all channels, the streaming channels are mixed in with your broadcast channels in the channel guide, making them hard to distinguish. Luckily, 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 […]
[…]2026. However, that doesn’t mean they’ll diligently keep up with bug fixes maintaining the channel guide. Already there have been some reports of series recording not working on the Recast. Amazon said they were aware of the problem, but users have still reported it being broken. With the announced layoffs in Amazon’s hardware division, it’s hard to imagine that maintaining an end-of-life hardware product is going to be high priority moving forward. So, using your Recast until it breaks is indeed an option, but check from time to time to make sure the features you use are indeed still working. […]

Within the margin of error of these tests, it’s basically a tie, but that’s actually quite a feat for the HD Smart Bar. As I mentioned, most other […]

[…]and Roku TVs also feature Airplay. 3. Integrate streaming channels with broadcast/cable TV channels In the Samsung channel guide, when you go past the last cable or broadcast TV channel, you’ll go into Samsung’s TV Plus free streaming channels, which look just like regular TV channels. There’s no real distinction between cable/broadcast channels and Internet streaming channels on this TV. The above screenshot of the channel guide shows that once you get past the broadcast channels, you move seamlessly into Samsung TV Plus free streaming channels. Another cool feature is that the TV will remember your place in a streaming […]

[…]button has three degrees of motion: press down for the guide, push forward to increment the channel, and back to decrement the channel. A lot of other functionality requires cursoring around the screen and highlighting menu items. There are still more hidden features that you access by pressing and holding buttons. All of this is fine for most users but could be problematic for those who don’t have great motor control or hand-eye coordination, such as the elderly. 3. If your current TV is reliable New TVs are incredibly inexpensive these days but there may be a reason. There are […]

[…]antennas out of the way of the screen After my antenna tweaking, I was able to bring in one more channel for a grand total of 19 unique channels! I was happy with this. Here is a list of the channels I got using this cheap rabbit-ear antenna: Providence, 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 […]
