Re: Encryption

Open to feedback - what features/areas do you think there is room to improve on? I hope that you have this already on the to-do list? The record engine already supports playout only operation (ie disabling recording) by setting the RecordStreamsMax to 0 in the conf file. We can't disable internet A...

Re: DVR playback stops randomly

Thanks - I see the end-of-stream information in the log.

Did it simply stop while playing or were you seeking at the time?

Re: Encryption

As for TV-specific apps, you're never going to have first-class support. They're too esoteric. HDHomeRun is widely supported on Android TV, Apple TV, iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac. My Android TV box does AC-4 audio beautifully in 5.1 with local decoding. And that's only first-party support, not in...

Re: new cox tuning adapter

When using a VECIMA tuning adapter make sure the cable feed is connected to the VECIMA box, then the RF output of the VECIMA box is connected to the HDHomeRun. Do not split the cable feed and feed the HDHomeRun separately. This is critical as the VECIMA generates the OOB RF signal the HDHomeRun need...

Re: HDHomeRun Record service only working when PC has active user session

The diagnostic logs show the record engine was running (not a starting problem), but something was blocking network communication. This strongly points to third party security software being the problem.

Its almost like its programmed for you to watch some of the commercials you really want to skip The HDHomeRun app has one-button-ad-skip.

Re: Set max storage limit on NAS (Synology)

The HDHomeRun DVR record engine reads/writes directly to disk (it doesn't use the share). We require creating a share so that 1) the HDHomeRun DVR record engine knows where to put recordings, and 2) so you can browse the files manually with a PC if you want to.

Re: How is Signal Quality calculated?

How does it differentiate between the signal and the noise in order to get the signal to noise measurement? Take something like QAM256 which is an 16x16 grid of boxes. With perfect signal each sample is exactly in the middle of the one box it was meant to be in. The MER measurement (basically SNR f...

On the subject of DRM - A3SA can revoke or deny DRM content viewing on/via a product at any time. This essentially means that every new idea for a consumer product and every new feature an innovator wants to add to a consumer product needs to be approved by the broadcasters that are on the A3SA voti...

Re: Set max storage limit on NAS (Synology)

One approach would be to configure the NAS with two volumes, one for DVR recordings and one for general storage. Set the size of the DVR volume to 4TB.
