    HdHomeRun and Kodi

    Hopefully someone can help me out here. I'm running a custom build of 17.4 on my Nvidia Shield. I run PIA VPN in the background of the shield. Recently I learned how to bypass certain apps for the VPN through the settings. Originally HDhomerun did not work if VPN was on and now it does through...

    I hate people who listen to music or watch videos using their phone's speakers

    My favorite are the people having a conversation on speaker with the phone flat in their hands, an inch from their mouth. Your ear ain't that far off lol

    I guess the switch I was using just couldn't handle the voltage dips?

    Television blacking out

    I have finally found the cause to the problem. My HDMI switch was the culprit as it did not support HDCP 2.2, even though I was not streaming 4K, it still presented an issue. Replaced the box and all was good. I didn't make the connection that I had the Shield connected directly to the TV when...

    Television blacking out

    Well the power amp was installed as part of my project, because as of yesterday we officially cut the cable so the power amp is for the OTA signal now. Cable into the house went in to a 2way, 1 out to the modem and one to the amp. I did run and terminate one coax inside the wall. (From bottom...

    New one provided by optimum. Was having issues with the internet which was attributed to the 90 degree coax connectors and they said the power amp could also cause issues (even though the cable that went to the modem was split before that amp)

    47PFL5704D. I don't have a UPS to test it with, nor have I wanted to take it off the wall to bring somewhere else, it wasn't the lightest flat screen lol

    I should have mentioned since the picture was taken, I have disconnected the power amp and gone to a standard splitter with the issue still occurring

    The worst part is that my house is a new build, everything should be fine. Def has to be the TV at this point, it's about 9 years old Philips 47". I'm a little timid about cracking it open and soldering, since I have no experience in either

    Further update, I swapped out all HDMIs and still same issue. Now if someone clicks any of the bathroom exhaust fans on/off it also happens. Probably did before too and I just didn't notice. Is that another symptom of these "caps" that were spoken of? This is the only TV with the issue now, the...

    Well, I rejoiced too soon. Still going on. I disconnected the power splitter, went straight through, have it on a standard splitter. Still happening. Gonna try a different HDMI cable. Problem is I I have so many cables I don't know which to try first, and one runs inside the wall. After cables...

    Nvidia Shield, Issue with Native Netflix App

    Hi all, Did some searching and couldn't find anything recent and relevant. Just set up my new Shield TV on Friday and everything was working great with it. The native Netflix app was working great and now all I get is a big red x with audio playing in back. I'm not streaming 4k, my TV doesn't...
