[…]no adverse repercussions, but Verizon could stop this at any time, so don’t bank on this working in the future. Can I attach my own 5G antennas to the gateway? It depends on which model you receive (you don’t have control over which model you get). If you receive the ARC-XCI55AX model, you can hack it to attach your own antennas but it requires opening up the unit and running cables from 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 […]
[…]Wi-Fi later. Aside from weak cell signal, another issue some people have is equal-strength signals coming from two separate towers. When that is the case, your gateway might be switching back and forth between towers, resulting in reboots. Again, repositioning your gateway to be closer to one tower might fix that situation. The bottom line is to experiment with your gateway location in your home! 2. Enable Passthrough Mode (only if you have Ethernet) Some users have said that passthrough mode decreases the frequency of reboots or the need for reboots. One warning though, enabling passthrough mode disables Wi-Fi on […]
[…]Roku App As the Tablo Gen 4 has had more time in the marketplace, there have been many folks complaining online about bugs in the Roku app such as having it crash or reset unexpectedly. The solution for many has been to purchase a $20 ONN Android streaming box from Walmart. Of course, no one should have to do that! Tablo customer support says they are aware of the issue and are releasing a solution. Reader Rick found a possible cause and workaround. For him, playback using some Roku devices was pixelated and terrible when using an external hard drive. […]
[…]disappear; those are the ones that only have 4G on them. Now, not all of the cells on the remaining towers are 5G. To find which ones are 5G, click on the tower and look through the popup list on the left. Try to find “5G ENDC Available / Yes” in the list. If that is there, that cell is 5G. Note the cell number and find it on the map: Or, you can do the reverse and click on a cell and see if it has 5G ENDC in the popup list. Note that although T-Mobile has dedicated 5G […]
[…]into the LAN1 port. From there, access the web portal at 192.168.0.1: http://192.168.0.1/ Log in using the password printed on your unit. Can’t Log Into Your Gateway? If you can’t log into your Gateway, you probably need to do a factory reset by using a paperclip to press the reset button on the bottom of the unit for 3 seconds. This happened to me, and after I reset the unit, my firmware was upgraded from 222656 to 3.2.0.21. Setting Passthrough on the ARC-XCI55AX If you have the ARC-XCI55AX, use these instructions to enable passthrough mode. After doing that, skip past […]
[…]to the Cellular section. If you don’t see the meter, paste the code into the dev tool window again and run it one more time. Voila! You should now see the signal strength meter! Conclusion Hope this was helpful to you! What kind of signal strength and download speeds are you getting? Please leave a comment below (I’m getting five bars and typically around 220 Mbps downloads). – […]
[…]Internet. Check the Verizon website to see if you’re in range. The Built-In Wi-Fi Router: Understanding Its Limits Because the Verizon Home Internet Gateway box includes a built-in Wi-Fi router, I went ahead and tried it out. For the first month, it worked great, with good signal strength that reached throughout my two-story home and even into my garage below that. After a month though, my signal strength inexplicably fell off a cliff. I noticed it when my outdoor Ring cameras went dead due to low Wi-Fi signal. Inside my home the signal strength was fine. I can’t explain the […]
[…]DVR has a killer feature where you can see a Netflix-style grid of all of the TV shows or movies coming in the next two weeks. This is invaluable for finding new shows or movies to record and it reminds me of browsing Blockbuster Video in the old days: On AirTV, you have to scroll through the channel guide, or type in the name of the show you want to record in the search form. That works, but you’re probably not going to discover something new to record that way. On the Sling app home page, there is a grid […]
[…]if you’re using a Mohu Leaf or other indoor antenna, and you have a flakey channel that drops in and out, the HD Smart Bar might be able to pick it up, especially if it is a VHF channel. Check the Station Finder for your area. The channels that say “Hi-V” or “Low-V” are VHF. Conclusion I’d love to hear how this antenna works for you! Please leave your comments or questions below. – […]
[…]saving a ton of money by spending ZERO dollars for TV most months. I’ll continue to post my findings and research on DisableMyCable. I hope it is helpful to you. – Brian My Antenna Experiments and the Mohu Leaf My old rabbit-ear antenna got a good number of channels, but there were more that were flaky or that didn’t come in at all. So, I went out and purchased a big metal antenna, the Antennas Direct DB-4 from Solid Signal. This got me more channels, but I still wasn’t satisfied. Around that time, there was a lot of hoopla about […]
[…]Direct’s Transmitter Locator – See exactly what direction your TV signals are coming from. Helpful to position your antenna. AntennaWeb is a definitive source for antenna information with a tool that shows available channels in your area, as well as what direction they are coming from. Click on “Choose an antenna”. Over-the-Air Digital TV Site – has some great information on TV signals, terrain masking, and attenuation of TV signals through various materials. FTAList.com – information on free satellite TV (not Dish or DirecTV, but free satellite channels from around the world). Titan TV – free online TV channel guide, including broadcast TV guides for […]
[…]avoid ads). There is no free trial, but that’s not a big surprise given the number of new movies coming. Hulu Good for TV Shows, Movies Hulu is increasingly investing in original programming like “The Handmade’s Tale”. I also enjoyed the story of one-time James Bond actor George Lazenby in “Becoming Bond”. They have a one-month free trial so there’s nothing to lose to try it. Hulu (the regular non-live TV version) is a very popular streaming service featuring a catalog of TV shows and movies for $7.99 per month with limited commercials and $14.99 per month with no commercials. Starz Lower […]
[…]You will need to go through your TV’s settings menus to find where to do that. My TV is not finding any channels when I do a scan Did you use the Station Finder on the front page of this site to see if there are any channels in your area? If you have at least five green channels, it is worth trying to get broadcast digital channels. Did you securely attach the antenna cable? (It has a collar that has to be screwed in.) The most fragile part of many antennas like the Mohu Leaf is the cheap cable it comes […]
[…]a window. Reception was very mediocre at ten to twelve channels. While playing around with cable routing, the antenna fell on the floor. Just for kicks, I scanned the channels and found that I got four more channels in that unlikely position! If you are not getting ten or twenty channels, you probably live too far from the transmitters or there is something blocking the signals, like a mountain. Go to the antenna section to find out more. If you don’t have access to your roof (i.e., you live in an apartment), I would suggest using the Mohu Leaf antenna. It’s thin and easy […]
[…]a good indoor antenna. Click on the station’s call letters to see what direction the signal is coming from on the map to help you orient your antenna. THE RESULTS OF THE STATION FINDER ARE BASED ON THE FCC DATABASE AND DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE ALL OF THE CHANNELS LISTED. If That Site Is Down, Use This Alternative If the link above doesn’t work (sometimes the FCC Site goes down), enter your zip code into the Transmitter Locator by Antennas Direct. You should be able to get stations within the first circle using an indoor […]
[…]antenna, making the Mohu Leaf the winner when it comes to value! Check the Mohu Leaf Paper-Thin Indoor Antenna out on Amazon here: The Leaf is made in the U.S.A., which I really like! Note the Leaf has a black side and a white side. It doesn’t matter which side you point toward the TV transmission towers. One Caveat… Although the Mohu Leaf antenna is great, the cable that comes with it isn’t. If you get the Mohu Leaf, I recommend also purchasing a high-quality RG6 coax cable of the appropriate length for your home. It really makes a difference in getting the […]
[…]do this too. I start recording, do something else for a while, then start watching from the beginning so I can fast-forward past the commercials. Although I haven’t had a chance to go back and test this myself, reader Edward reports that after recording starts, you can indeed hit Play and it will start playing that show from the beginning. Pretty cool! File Format The unit stores your recordings in .mts file format. You don’t see this format a lot on computers, but it is used to store HD video on AVCHD and Blu-ray discs. Despite that, I was able […]
[…]using the cumbersome letter picker. After starting up, there is a short introductory video that points out the main features of Fire TV. You can also select some commonly-used apps to install. The Home Screen Amazon re-vamped their home screen layout a while ago, and to me, it’s not as straightforward as, say, the Roku home screen. I also didn’t like having the Sprint ad right in the middle of my app grid! But, that’s not a showstopper and overall, it’s simple to navigate around using the four-way directional buttons on the remote, once you get used to it. Channels […]
[…]foil – they were glued tightly together, probably to hide the design. But, you can see the faint outline of two bowtie antennas. I’ve outlined them below for clarity. This type of antenna is known as a wide-band printed bowtie antenna. This is a traditional TV antenna style, although the dimensions were carefully chosen by Mohu for optimum reception. A Comparison Just to compare, here’s a photo of a Winegard FlatWave Amped antenna. It’s clear so you can easily see the design: So, not all flat antennas are created equal. Conclusion So there you have it! The original Mohu Leaf […]
[…]what happened is that there is some firmware bug in the TV that is triggered by the digital signal coming from channel 5.1, which is KTLA in my city. (Since first writing this article, KTLA fixed the problem for a while, but it’s back to misbehaving now. I’m leaving channel 5.1 out 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 […]
