    How things have changed

    I love my Channels dvr I've had for over two years now. I have all my local channels including ATSC 3.0 (only 1 is encrypted), and around 1,200 streaming channels, and ALL with an integrated guide and ALL of them can be recorded.

    Multiple LMB options

    It's also a VERY good idea to keep all your posts about a particular subject in the SAME thread. Otherwise it's very difficult to follow what you are doing, and IF you've already been told something or not.

    The Zapperbox M1 Now Records ATSC 3.0 DRM Channels!

    Oh, I'll admit they seem to have by FAR the best tech team, and a nice device. I just think it's overpriced by at least triple what it's worth.

    no picture. signal resolution is on most of the times then goes off briefly, all buttons on the remote work but I never get a picture. It's an AMIKO

    Bill, we need a lot more information, or description as this post doesn't have enough info to tell anything, sorry. What sort of dish, KU or C-band, what is your hookup, any switches, did it EVER work, etc.

    Their price will NEVER go down. Other brands might, but Zapperbox won't.

    OTA antenna combiner

    It's worth it, hands down, and it's a ONE-TIME cost, versus paying cable tv every month forever. Best combiner in existence, and I only wish it had been available 40 years ago. This is what I combine with it. Each pointed at a different DMA :

    OTA antenna combiner

    Ok, you really need to break up that post into smaller paragraphs, as it's REALLY hard for a person to wade their way through it. That said, THIS is the best 3-antenna combiner out there, by far, and has a built in preamp, yet can also power outboard preamps, as long as they are +12vdc...

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    For just a preamp, this is the best one out there that I've tested over the years. So anybody that wants to try JUST a preamp with their present passive antenna, would do well to try this one...

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    The signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) at the tuners demodulator is what matters most. Signal-to-noise ratio is related to what is referred to as ‘noise margin’. Often a large contributor to S/N is the tuner noise figure. Typical tuners have noise figures that range from ~6 to 8 dB. So, even...

    Bit Rate Errors - causes and fixes?

    Get this antenna, (it's the latest model and version, completely re-engineered) and I'll bet your stations will all lock in nicely. I tested one, and it's the most powerful yet on the smaller side antenna I've ever seen. I had NO issues picking up stations at 50~ miles using it. It'll fit on the...

    I was a field computer tech for a long time. We used to stand behind people and ask them what issue they were having, and could they duplicate it. They'd do so, and ask us what it seems that the problem is. "Yep, I see that it appears to be an I.O. error" (idiot operator) LOL!
