    Streaming from OSmio4K to TV

    Thanks for the replies and info. I have this mostly working. I'm using Dreamdroid on my Android phone. And I have it setup to use VLC rather than it's own player. I then cast the video using Chromecast to my big TV in the living room. The video is stable with no breakups, but what I'm...

    Streaming from OSmio4K to TV

    For those interested I got this to work but I'm not that happy with the result. The Chromecast literally takes your phone screen and casts it to the TV, pixel by pixel. There are a couple problems with this. One, the aspect ratio of my phone is different than the HD ratio of the TV and also...

    Streaming from OSmio4K to TV

    Thanks, I got dreamdroid to work on my phone. I'm trying to see how to cast the phone video to my TV. I'm looking for a Chromecast but can't find it yet. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Streaming from OSmio4K to TV

    Hi guys, quick question. What Android app do you use to stream 4:2:2 video from an Osmio4K (or other rcvr) to your TV? On my PC I can use VLC and that works OK. I'd like to stream from my Android phone or tablet to my TV. On the PC I go to the Mio's web page and can stream from there. I...

    Please review TNAP firmware slot/programming

    Well that didn't take long. I successfully upgraded to TNAP 5. I restored my previous backup file and all the existing satellites and channels were restored. I don't have the energy to re-tune all the satellites and stuff. Seemed to work fine. Thanks for the helpful instructions.

    Please review TNAP firmware slot/programming

    Thanks I'll go through the process. I know what an MC6809 is although I don't remember the E version. In the 1970's I was an electrical engineering college student majoring in microprocessor and digital design. I even remember Mikbug! All the projects I worked on used Motorola processors and...

    Please review TNAP firmware slot/programming

    Arlo, please let me know if this is the correct procedure. 1. I manually did a backup and have a backup folder on a USB drive. 2. I downloaded the TNAP 5 Multiboot file from Legit FTA. 3. After unzipping the file I copied the osmio4kplus folder to the USB drive. 4. I inserted the USB drive in...

    Please review TNAP firmware slot/programming

    Can anyone verify whether TNAP 5 requires a full scratch install, or will keep current settings? Thanks.

    Please review TNAP firmware slot/programming

    Hi guys, for the Edision OS Mio+ 4K would you please review how to use the different firmware slots? Is there any documentation on this subject? I would like to try the new TNAP 5 version. My overall goal is to not mess up anything. If I put version 5 in an open slot, will all my satellite...

    RG-6 connectors

    I thought I must be doing something wrong. But you guys have the same experience as I do. It's easy to strip the cable but pushing on the connector to the proper location just hurts my fingers and hand especially if multiple cables need to be made. I'm following this thread closely for any...

    Why Can't Our Receivers Decode 4:2:2?

    Guys thanks for all your comments. I better understand what the issue is now. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Why Can't Our Receivers Decode 4:2:2?

    I'm guessing the receiver sends raw network data to the PC and software like VLC does the heavy work. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Why Can't Our Receivers Decode 4:2:2?

    Thanks Jim your comments make sense. I think adding such capability would be a great feature and would distinguish such a receiver from the competition. We can hope. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Why Can't Our Receivers Decode 4:2:2?

    Numb, yes I'm aware of the computer streaming. That works fine, I'm wondering why the same ability isn't included in the firmware. Al Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk
