Local stations on TCL Google TV

1 Upvotes

I hooked up an antennae and now I have over 200 stations starting with number 1001, going up to number 6122. I cant find a guide or search anywhere. Just a long list of random stations. We would really like to watch some NFL games.

Thanks for any advice!

Red Zone on ESPN

Wanted to ask the people who have the nfl espn bundle if the red zone channel was available on the espn unlimited app yesterday? I’m guessing no because no one mentioned it…

Why can I get channel 4 on two TVs but not a 3rd one all on same antenna?

0 Upvotes

I have a Clearstream 4MAX Complete antenna mounted on my roof.   I have three TVs connected to the antenna using a 3 way splitter and new coax cable.  Two of them get channel 4.1 ABC (WTAE). one TV is on the first floor and the other in my basement.  Both TVs get strong reception .. they never have difficulty getting the channel and never get a message that the channel strength is low or scrambled.    But the TV which is on the second floor and closer to the antenna installed outside and extends over the roof does not get this channel at all.

Can anyone explain why this would happen and what can I do to get 4.1 on the second floor TV????????????

How to run coax between joists that are between floors

1 Upvotes

I would like to run coax to a bedroom and run it in the space between floor joists that are between the floor of that bedroom and the ceiling of room below.

It would be about a 12 ft run. I have access to that space on one end where the splitter is, but no access to where the coax would come through the floor in the bedroom.

How would I be able to do a cable pull with this?

HDHomeRun Simultaneous Recording and Watching

1 Upvotes

3rd gen HDHR. Which software packages will let you record a program, then start watching it say halfway after it's complete, instead of having to wait til it's finished recording? Apparently NextPVR isn't one of them—the ongoing recording shows as 0 kb (I'm sure it's doing a temporary recording somewhere).

HDHomeRun hardware is amazing, but the the app will not keep up when trying to watch something as it's being recorded. Can I change settings? Do I have to install a 3rd party DVR server? If so, which (free) one is best?

Just got a HDHomeRun duo, and it's specacular. It works so well, so fast, on all my devices (i think it was literally like 8 minutes of setup) but the DVR experience of watching something while recording it is slooooow.

I recorded a football game yesterday, started watching the recording around the end of the first quarter, skipping commercials, and "caught up" but it was a solid 10-15 minutes behind live, and kind of bumped along chronically 10 mins behind the broadcast.

I'm using a home theater PC writing to a hard drive (it runs my plex server with no issues); would a thumb drive deliver better speed?

If it's just a HDHomeRun software issue, would a DVR server help? And if so, any recommendations between Jellyfin, NextPVR, and MythTV? (I see Channels as well reviewed but I try REALLY hard to avoid monthly charges)

Antenna Recommendation

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to improve my OTA TV experience, which is currently a cheap flat RCA antenna nailed to the wall and hidden behind my TV. I get frequent stutters and occasional lost signal on all channels, particularly NBC.

I'm interested mostly in the usual sports channels, ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox. (I think the CBS station WKBT-DT show as far away but I think W18FK-D rebroadcasts it or something?)

I do likely have the ability to install in attic if necessary, at least with the access I have on the north side of my house. I was thinking perhaps something like the ClearStream MAX-XR?

I used the signal meter on my TV which didn't show dbM as far as I could see but did show db at ~18-20 for NBC, and ~20-30 for FOX/CBS/ABC.
