Verizon 5G Home Internet Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

[…]home doesn’t fix the problem, you should just return the unit within the 30-day trial period. Don’t try to debug it with their customer service; it probably won’t help.

How to Save Money on Internet Access in 2024

[…]These are often not publicized. If you only stream on one computer or TV at a time you probably don’t need 50Mbps. You might be fine with 3Mbps. For reference, Netflix requires a minimum speed of 0.5Mbps. 5. Buy Your Own Modem (Don’t Rent) Some Internet providers charge a monthly “rental fee” for the modem. This is really outrageous and you should protest and threaten to buy your own if they don’t waive this fee. Cable Modems cost around $60 so after a few years of rental fees, they will be making pure profit at your expense. So, go to your […]

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

[…]required network-attached storage, or a running PC, to make recordings. Thankfully, these devices don’t. Stated very simply, the FLEX DUO and 4K have two and four tuners respectively, and a USB port to connect your own DVR storage. The SCRIBE 4K has four tuners and includes 1TB (“150 Hours”) of internal storage and one year of DVR service included (a $35 value). I chose the cheapest model, the FLEX DUO because I have lots of USB hard drives lying around, so why pay for internal storage? The downside of this model is that it does not come with the first […]

[…]was stupidly easy. I plugged in power and waited for it to boot up and configure. When it was done, I connected an Ethernet cable from the gateway to my computer and used the web app to set up my Wi-Fi network name and password. Voila! I was up and running in minutes! Wow! You can also set up the box via Wi-Fi using the settings printed at the bottom of the unit. Aside from the quick start card, no manual was included with the unit. But you can download the manual for the ARC model or for the ASK […]

[…]of the TiVo Edge for Antenna) saying that the Edge for Antenna would no longer be manufactured: It’s indeed out of stock on the TiVo website, and no longer available on Amazon or the Best Buy website. I would recommend looking at a better-supported DVR like the Tablo Gen 4. You may still be able to get an Edge for Antenna used on eBay, so I’ll leave the original article for you, below: Original Article TiVo is known for its excellent cable TV DVRs, but they’ve also made a few models for recording broadcast TV from an antenna.

Review: The AirTV 2 Broadcast TV DVR

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. If you want to be able to watch your recordings away from home, however, the AirTV 2 does that while the Tablo Gen 4 does not. Physical Design The AirTV 2 is […]

Review: The Antop HD Smart Bar – The Best Indoor Amplified TV Antenna?

[…]to your antenna as shown here: There is also an output for an FM antenna, but most people probably don’t even have an FM radio in their homes. More handy might be to connect that output to a Tablo or other broadcast TV DVR. It’s not super difficult to set up if you’re comfortable connecting coax cables and following instructions. My Testing For my testing, I used the Mediasonic HOMEWORX Digital Converter Box HW130STB as my tuner because it has a handy signal strength meter. The first thing I did was pit the HD Smart Bar against my Mohu Leaf […]

Six Surprising Things Modern TVs Can Do

[…]hadn’t expected TV manufacturers to put much effort into improving broadcast TV tuners. I figured that they had already maxed out in reception quality, or that getting more broadcast channels wasn’t a super high priority with TV manufacturers. I’m glad I was wrong! Newer TVs, especially Samsung TVs, tend to have better TV tuners which bring in more channels than ones made before, say, 2014. This is actually great news for folks who are using an antenna to watch TV but have some marginal stations. A quality new TV might bring those in better than your old TV, especially a […]

Should You Upgrade Your TV?

[…]especially on an OLED TV. But when you’re watching your favorite movie, the “blacker blacks” don’t really make a difference. After a few months of owning my new Samsung QLED TV, I appreciate the increased screen size, but the picture quality honestly doesn’t make me enjoy shows any more than I did with my old LCD screen. My new TV has 4K resolution, while my old LCD was “just” 1080p.  The images on my new TV look great.  But then again, they looked pretty awesome at 1080p as well. When I’m viewing my TV from my couch, I can’t really […]
