[…]different locations in your 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. Do not cancel your previous Internet provider when you order Verizon 5G Home Internet. Keep it for at least the first 30 days of having 5G. Are there any hidden fees? I have not encountered any. I pay exactly $50/month for my plan (which is grandfathered in at 300 Mbps), with auto-pay. I didn’t have any activation fees either. Is it a good deal? For me, it […]
[…]Recognize Drives I used the Sling iPhone app to do this procedure. First, click your account icon in the upper right corner of the app. Next, click “Local Channels”. Click “Connected Devices”. Click “My AirTV”. Scroll to the bottom and click “Remove AirTV”. This is the key step of the whole process! I wasn’t able to get the unit to recognize the drive without doing this: Do a factory reset on your AirTV by pushing a paperclip in the RESET hole in the back of the unit (keeping the unit powered on). When the unit resets, go through the setup […]
[…]location for cell signal. You can run an Ethernet cable to an external Wi-Fi router and put that in the best location for 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 […]
[…]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 […]
[…]it to access the gateway’s web interface. So, unplug your computer from LAN1 (if it was plugged in there) and plug it into your router. You should be off to the races now! A side benefit of offloading Wi-Fi from your gateway to a separate router is that you are decreasing the processing power needed by the gateway, and therefore decreasing generated heat. Heat can be a problem, so doing this could prolong the life of your gateway or even increase speed in extreme cases. Speed and Connection Problems in Passthrough Mode? Some folks online have complained that with IP […]
[…]Cut Cable TV and Landline You can cut the cable TV portion of your service while still retaining cable Internet. If you live in an area with TV broadcast stations within 30 miles, and you 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 […]
[…]four. If you are single, don’t dismiss family plans just yet. You don’t actually need to be in the same family to use a family plan. The main thing is that the bill goes to one address. You each get separate phone numbers. Perhaps you could go in with a trusted friend? Or, how about your parents or grandparents? Extended family? Cousins, aunts, uncles? Keep an open mind here, because the savings are dramatic. Depending on which company you choose, you can cut your phone bill in half! 5. Make a Date to Drop Your Phone Insurance I like to […]
[…]your TV, which might not be optimal for reception. 3. Discovering New Content The channel guides in the Tablo and HDHomeRun apps show you a beautiful grid of upcoming TV shows and movies. This is a great way to discover old classic movies to record. Now, this feature does have a price. Both the Tablo and HDHomeRun have fees for the channel guide, but you get something for your money. The AirTV2 and TiVo Edge also let you see upcoming content, but paid content is mixed in, making it hard to find upcoming free broadcast shows unless you know exactly […]
[…]of the product was wonderfully easy. It was very much plug-and-play! Following the instructions in their quick-start guide, I hooked up my antenna, then connected my router via Ethernet cable, then connected power. On my Windows PC, I downloaded the HDHomeRun app from the Windows App store. I launched the app, and before long I had a live TV show playing on my screen! Wow! Of course, there are HDHomeRun apps for all of the major streaming TV boxes such as Roku, Fire TV, Nvidia Shield, and Xbox. I was very surprised that, unlike every other DVR I’ve used, I […]
[…]went dead due to low Wi-Fi signal. Inside my home the signal strength was fine. I can’t explain the sudden dropoff. Perhaps there was some new signal interference from a neighbor? In any case, I’m not really counting this against Verizon, because I wouldn’t expect a built-in Wi-Fi router with no external antennas to have as good a range in a two-story home as a dedicated Netgear router with three external antennas! If you live in a one-bedroom apartment or a single-story home, the built-in Wi-Fi router probably will be just fine for you. It will probably work in a […]
[…]streaming device like a Roku would be better for this. The Tivo Edge for Antenna only works in the United States and Canada. Setup To set up the TiVo Edge for Antenna, you must connect it to a TV via HDMI. You cannot set it up by using an app like you can with Tablo or AirTV. The other necessary connections are power, antenna, and Internet. The unit won’t work without an Internet connection You can connect it to your home network via wired Ethernet, or wirelessly through Wi-Fi, which is great if you don’t want to run cable from […]
[…]AirTV! The tuner brings in more channels than the Tablo when connected to the exact same antenna in the exact same location! UPDATE: Some months after writing this article, I re-tested the Tablo Dual Lite and the AirTV 2 tuners, and this time Tablo found more channels. It’s possible that Tablo’s firmware was updated to bring in more channels. Watching Live TV The Sling app offers some good free streaming content in addition to your broadcast TV channels. I found their free channels similar to Pluto TV’s. I was stoked to be able to watch The Walking Dead on one […]

[…]good placement is about 95% of the battle. Also very important: the pre-amplifier is right IN the antenna, where it gives the greatest benefit. Some cheaper amplified antennas have an external amplifier box near your TV, which is the worst place for it. You want it right at the antenna so it can amplify the cleanest signal. With the HD Smart Bar, there is a Power Booster unit near your TV where power is available. It sends power back through your antenna’s coax cable to the pre-amplifier that is actually inside the antenna bar. Pretty cool. It also has a […]
[…]click the link below (it works best on a desktop monitor rather than on a small phone screen). In the left column click or type in the channels you want. For example, you might type in “History” or “AMC” or “ESPN”. On the right, you’ll see all of the services that carry some or all of those channels. Make to check each result for the logos of the channels you want. Some of the results may not carry all of the channels you selected, but they are shown if they give significant cost savings. This tool is a great starting […]

[…]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 app […]
[…]to warm up after turning it on before the picture and sound appeared. It also had an annoying hiss in the audio that seemed to be getting louder over time. It was time to upgrade. 5. You are a videophile If you are a gear enthusiast who lusts after the latest features and specs, you’re probably not looking for my permission to purchase a new TV! When You Shouldn’t Get a New TV Here are some reasons you might be better off saving your money and keeping your existing TV 1. If your screen size is already big enough If […]
