I used to suspect that it was the Tablo tuner. Same time, same antenna, same channel, same program, two different results (two different DVRs). HOWEVER when my Homeworx is recording the same channel and program, NO BLIPS. Yet there will be blips when the Tablo records it. I doubt it’s the tuner Hauppauge makes some of the best tuners. I considered switching back to a network Tablo but can’t deal w/ the 10-15 sec channel changing speed so considering either just using Plex or trying one of the new HDHomerun standalone boxes that just came out but i’d really rather make what i have work if i can fix this signal issue I am curious what everyones thoughts to what else i can try…If maybe the Shield is at fault, Engine or tuner? (my thoughts are either Engine or Shield since when i tested the signal i’m literally just unplugging the tuner from the Shield and into my laptop / signal meter app I originally thought the distance was the issue but like i said, i’ve tested the signal strength many times at the Shield location and thats never been anything but excellent. plex server is closer to the splitter vs shield / tablo engine.I tried re-running the coax to that location to make sure it was good but has not helped.Ĭomparing the 2 testing spots they both have the same exact USB tuner and the only differences are: If i switch immediately over to the Plex app on my Shield and go to that same channel the picture is perfect. However watching Live TV on Engine can be very spotty (pixelation, audio drop outs, etc). I’ve used the Hauppage signal meter app on my laptop at the Shield location w/ the USB tuner numerous times and the signal is almost perfect w/ no errors.
