Contemplating getting a Tablo.

Which devices will work with tablo to have the best experience?

I have an Apple TV is there a tablo app for ATV? Could someone comment? TIA

Looking for feedback from Tablo owners for their comments on the DVR and all other usage.

TIA

Hi, im looking to buy a streaming stick or something like that to use with my tv thats in my room.
I currently have an old samsung smart tv and it is REALLY slow, and also i cant get some apps on it like steam link and crunchyroll, also it is really buggy when i try to access my plex server so i thought something like a fire stick/roku/chromecast etc... would be a good idea and i was just wondering what would be the best in my case.

I would like to use amazon video, netflix, youtube, crunchyroll, plex etc... and also i would like to be able to use steam link, or have a way of streaming my steam games from my pc with decent latency, and be able to use a controller (im not sure if i would need to connect the controller to the streaming device or my pc?).

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: i use ethernet on pc and will use wifi for the streaming device

I currently have two Channel Master distribution amplifiers, one 2-port and one 8-port, inside a structured media enclosure, and space is pretty tight. Currently, each amp is powered using its own AC-to-coaxial adapter. In an effort to free up some space, I was considering powering both amps using a single AC adapter combined with a two way coaxial cable splitter. Will this provide the necessary power to each distribution amplifier?

Hello! I’m using a firestick setup and like using the live tv button to see the channels from a few different apps.

What I noticed- many channels don’t show up at first glance. For example I think Pluto only has 60some channels that show up. But when I looked through the freeve channels and Pluto, I saw many that didn’t show up are actually there but under the freeve section. Both apps have the same channel but amazon would want it to show up under freeve. Makes sense but I didn’t know. So initially I was thinking I was missing out on most channels but now realized most are actually still there.

So begins the painstaking process of finding out-
1.) which channels are actually missing 2.) which channels are repeated and then hiding them from view in fire menu. 3.) and then favorite each channels that doesn’t show up- so for example Pluto has a channel that doesn’t show up and also is not a channel available through freeve,xumo, ect... I want to favorite it in Pluto app, so I can easily click the app and see anything not available on the firestick guide. I think most are there with a few exceptions- and excluding news stations I’m not concerned with.

So what I’ve been doing is one by one, phone in hand with app and scrolling through firestick guide. I put a favorite heart (in Pluto app) on anything that didn’t show up in firestick guide. Then I went through freeve channels. Any Pluto station that was favorited and showed up in the freeve was un-favorited. Leaving only favorites for things not on firestick guide.

So this is painstakingly taking forever, I know it’s ridiculous. But I want to get the most of my free stations and take out duplicates.

I’m looking for anything online to help. If I just had a list of stations I could copy paste and make a excel file to figure it out faster. But anytime I look I’m just finding channel listings not in a way I can copy paste- like the logo is there instead of just the worded channel title.

If anyone has any suggestions, has link to a list, or even interested in this too. If I ever get done I would like to post what channels are repeated and actually missing (not just there from another app).

So far working through Pluto and freeve, but have to do plex tubi and xumo. Sling free will not show up in guide- so will skip if I I can’t get it to. Any other ones?

Wanted a less expensive option than YouTubeTV. Went with the Sling Blue plan, thinking I'd save 30 bucks ish a month. This morning I cancelled and went back to YT.

I really didn't dig the Sling concept of splitting the packages. Ended up foregoing ESPN, and suddenly we have the star of Women's College Basketball unable to be seen by my wife, who's a fan.

Found the app glitchy. Once in a while, the guide wouldn't sync up correctly, and shows would appear on channels they weren't on.

The interface was usable, but I didn't prefer it. I never found a way of changing the order of my favorites. All those Pluto-esque filler channels really got in the way of the experience.

Surprised that I had to use a burner account to get the opening deal on YTTV. Would have figured they'd have wanted the buisness back.

Lastly, I will say I'm glad I don't use traditional cable. Can you imagine trying to cancel after 3 months?

I bet there are consumers who dig the Sling experience and the discounted price point. Wish I had been one of them.

Would really appreciate some help on this… I’ll be installing it in my attic about 12-14’ high.

Outdoor antenna isn't an option, due to landlord. Would like to get a CBS station, preferably WTOL, but not sure if this is possible now :(

The following report features the minimum height of 13':

The following report features a height of 20':

Is this possible at all?

I'm looking at YouTube TV, but need a remote for my handicapped husband. Thoughts?

Since last evening I can't get streaming services to work on my TV. I have tried several different apps (including Disney, Hulu, Sling, Pluto). Generally the menus come up , but when I select a video to play it either hangs up or eventually shows a message that there is some kind of problem. I did have an power outage yesterday morning, but internet service and Wi-fi seems to be working fine now. I was able to get Sling to play on my computer, which has a wired connection to the router. Any ideas what the problem may be and how to fix it? TIA.

Spectrum hiked our price again. We pay 310 total, 100 of which is internet which we cannot cancel as spetrum is the sole available provider.

I watch hockey every now and then but honestly, rhe tv doesnt get used much aside from wife's hallmark and lifetime and movies on fx or amc and the like. Freeform and amc christmas movies, the former spectrum removed this year after the disney fiasco.

We currently have netflix, prime, and get hulu/Disney+ from relatives though we are considering canceling netflix as well

So I am getting a new roof (shingles) today and got a tripod to install. ITs an RCA model. Anyone have any experience on doing this? Do I coat the underside of each mount point with a tar/or caulk to substance before I bolt it down? The last one I did, was just a standard mount that came with a rubber pad for under it. I just want to make sure I don't cause any leaks.

Anyone else with this service have trouble with fast forwarding or rewinding? I have to go back out every time and resume because it freezes up. I’ve contacted support a couple of times and nothing they suggest works to fix it. Just wondering if it’s a common problem.

Looking to cut cable and save some $ on streaming services as well. Can someone suggest the best antenna for my location and the direction I should point it? I'm planning on an attic install.

Antenna I have: https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Indoor-Dual-Color-Amplified-Antenna-50-Mile-Range/950962349?athbdg=L1103&from=/search

I recently moved back here, and while I was going to get cable anyways, I tried to set up an antenna in my bedroom (facing due south) and living room to see if OTA would be viable... and its not, seemingly... in both rooms, I only got KYW, WTXF and WPSG. In the living room (facing due north) I got those plus WPHL and WPPX. I'm missing the OTA stations I watch most via cable (ABC - WPVI and WABC; PBS - WNJT and WHYY and MyNetworkTV - WWOR). In both rooms, I set the antenna in a window.

Any advice? As I live in an apartment, attic antennas and roof-mount antennas are not feasible.

Maybe if I can figure this out, I can stop paying Optimum for my second box...

Does anyone know where I can get accurate live tv delay reports? Specifically compared to cable? I do have an antenna for football season but not for baseball. It’s incredibly annoying muting my phone during live sports

I'm not sure how to phrase this question, but what can I use besides a small step ladder to strengthen my reception. Here's my situation...I have a small indoor antenna I place in the top of a closet. It gets the most channels there and it connected to a plug in antenna amplifier. All of these items weren't expensive and are generic brands, but work pretty good. But, on some days, the long range channels (over 60 miles) won't come in. I have a small metal step ladder that was leaning against the closet door, and the channel comes in! Remove the ladder and the channel goes out. So, my question is what can I use besides leaving that ladder leaning there? Any tricks?

I want to set up something that just streams a single website, but I am hoping for something like the Firestick in form factor.

My big thing I want is control. I don't want Google or Amazon or Apple forcing a patch down.

I want to set this thing to auto go to the website every time the TV is on. And I want it to do that for 10 years.

As having the antenna on the opposite side of side of the room from the tv where the window is, (provides best picture) a simple BT or WiFi device to transmit OTA antenna signal across the Room should do it and someone most likely has done this.

Ideas, comments?

TIA

I rent a room at a friends place and am looking for antenna options that can work from inside the confines of my room. I’m having difficulty picking up all of my local channels (my local cbs and nbc affiliates in particular) on the old antenna I currently have. I’m very much a layman when it comes to the technical aspects of this all. If there’s other recommendations to add to my abilities to pick up channels please let me know!

I'm considering Spectrums TV choice where I get the locals + 15 channels. 39.99 + a 25 dollar broadcast fee if I'm not mistaken. The only channels I really need to have are FOX, USA, TNT and TBS for WWE and AEW. any suggestions? Sling doesn't seem to have regular FOX. Can't miss Friday night Smackdown lol, might revisit this when WWE switches to Netflix.
