My cheapo flat panel indoor antenna came with a very skinny antenna wire that couldn’t be replaced, but it also had an amplifier. I compared it to a Leaf antenna with amplifier and there was no difference in signal quality. I think over a short run, eg. 12 feet or so, there’s no significant signal loss. For whatever reason, I get better signal on my first floor than second floor. Sometimes it’s even better at the bottom of the sliding glass window then at the top. It’s variable from day to day.

You need to edit this video to add the fact that the screws to be removed are NOIT Phillips or flat screws. they have a fluted hex head. Actual size is a T8. sThat is the ONLY tool that will work. Second, there are NO screws holding the fan in place. It is secured by four rubber posts that are conical in shape and just pull thru with tension. Lastly, before you can remove the electronics from the case, you must remove the nut holding the cable connector to the box. Those are really important to anyone who has never disassembled this device. otherwise, it's pretty good.

I've had Verizon for 20 years in various forms. I just moved from NYC to Chicago & I had FIOS before, which was amazing, but it's not available in Chicago. I got 5G wireless home internet after moving because I had to cancel my Fios anyway & I didn't have time to research. BIG MISTAKE! The download speed is ok around 300mbps..but upload today was 0.15. I work remote from home & have to upload graphic files which are huge. Even at 20 for uploads, it took 45 min to send a 17MB email. Dropbox doesn't like it either. I've had it 5 days...I can't work with the upload speed situation. I've gotta go back to wired. Also it's only $10 less than FIOS was where I was clocking over 900mbps...which I don't think I was even paying for that high speed. Verizon is also very confusing. I could NEVER see my internet/cable info online with FIOS & now that I have 5G internet...same thing...everytime I went to click the link they sent, it's broken or I don't have "access".

Be aware, if you have a problem with your Gateway, they will not allow you to keep you original price for 300 Mbps. You will have to choose to pay more for 300Mbps service or only get <100 Mbps speed at the lower price. Your "price guarantee" won't matter because the old plan doesn't exist anymore and new device means new plan.

I have a good wifi signal and speed but half of my devices wont connect. As i mentioned, these all were working a month ago. I also have a 2nd wifi router, hard wired down stairs that has no internet, even when i wir to it or wifi. I may look at this pass through setting you mentioned.

The DVR functionality is what I wanted. I have 2 issues with using live TV and the guide. 1. The guide let's you choose 'all channels' or 'favorites', but it defaults to 'all channels'. You should be able to either select your default choice, or default to favorites. 2. There is no channel up/down functionality, you have to back out to the guide every time you want to view a new channel ( and the guide is back to showing all channels). Tablo really needs to fix this issue.

Yes, when I use the iOS app, I can't select Favorites anymore for some reason! (it's greyed out). I need to investigate that. I also hear on you the channel up/down functionality, but actually a lot of broadcast TV DVRs are extremely slow to switch channels. The AirTV is even worse. Switching channels is much faster on Tablo if you can believe it. - Brian

Has anyone else given a deposit to Verizon of $150 and then suddenly pay a low amount one month and then tell you that they put it towards your bill something you never requested? Well I just happened to me I don't understand who they're hiring at these corporations but these women are more deviant than Satan himself. You need to watch what they're doing with your money first off I sent back my cable box in February they never credited it to me until now in fact it's not quite going through, I don't understand what's wrong with them I don't understand what college they come out of and I don't know what kind of practice is they're getting away with but nobody seems to be able to stop them from being crooked. If I sent my box back and only kept cable that means I'm spending close to $49 a month so why would they have used my $150 to lower my bill to $14 I didn't know them anything I paid my bill every single month. Who's running this company again is it somebody out of SingaporeI find it really degrading and quite ridiculous for them to treat us so ignorantly I should have got back that $150 fee after a year and they never gave it back to me now they're telling me they paid a bill I did not owe $150 in April so how could they possibly have taken it towards my bill? All I know is that America is being run now by women mostly white women and nothing's adding up nobody's doing anything everyone wants to stay home and work in their pajamas and they are ripping us off at 10 times the speed of the white American male when he had everything up. 😮 When will the deceiving practices end the Democratic party has brought nothing but moronic idiots in from community college and people with no college to run America and take advantage of us and we're paying six times over for one bill and I don't understand who's running these companies but you can't blame it on the white man anymore.

Cox just cut the cord for me. They discontinued cable service in my area and forced me on to fiber. Their new Contour "DVR" is not a DVR, it's a streamer with some magic "Cloud DVR" functionality. You can get 2, 6, or 24 "tuners" but the whole thing is 100% dependent on having a solid Internet connection; there are no locally-stored recordings. I went looking for a TiVo OTA DVR but it looks like they are all discontinued and existing stocks are sold out. I've had several TiVo DVRs over the years and they are way better than anything else I've seen, but, . . . I guess it's the end of an era.

It depends on which modem they send you. There is one model that has a removable SIM card that you can swap into a different modem. It's an older model but some folks are still receiving these. See the end of this article ("If You're Really Crazy About Speed"): www.disablemycable.com/blog/verizon-5g-home-internet/
@@disablemycable Thank you for this information...I was talking more about the brand or type of modem itself...something I can buy to replace the cube that will see the towers, maybe something where I can add a unilateral antenna for better signal... If the cube had a port to add an antenna I'd be okay with it...not sure if Verizon would allow it...but usually ISP's seem to just care more about your subscription. Thanks :)
As far as I know, you are not allowed to use a different modem; you have to use the one Verizon sends you. - Brian
Way better than my tmobile only at 46 mbps
Experimenting even with ridiculous positions are worth it. We were trying various window locations and various angles, but couldn't get the station we wanted. Then I just laid the flat antenna face-down on the windowsill. Success! Thanks for the suggestions-
Thanks for sharing! Yes totally. Sometimes the antenna positions make no sense, but work great as you said! - Brian
Verizon sucks. Total bait and switch company.
I tested this out recently- due to the layout of my apartment, and the position of the building, the signal was weak and the data rates were horrible. I'm sending the WiFi kit back. Am I wrong to think this is essentially a cellphone that provides a hotspot? It was assigned cell number, I mean, come on.
Sorry it didn't work out. Yes, it is exactly a cell phone hot spot.
TIP: Missing thumbnails for a recording? Press and quickly release the reset button on the bottom of the unit to do a reboot. Reboot is pretty quick ...and now your thumbnails are back for rewind and FF.
Great tip, thanks for sharing! - Brian
Has anyone else given a deposit to Verizon of $150 and then suddenly pay a low amount one month and then tell you that they put it towards your bill something you never requested? Well I just happened to me I don't understand who they're hiring at these corporations but these women are more deviant than Satan himself. You need to watch what they're doing with your money first off I sent back my cable box in February they never credited it to me until now in fact it's not quite going through, I don't understand what's wrong with them I don't understand what college they come out of and I don't know what kind of practice is they're getting away with but nobody seems to be able to stop them from being crooked. If I sent my box back and only kept cable that means I'm spending close to $49 a month so why would they have used my $150 to lower my bill to $14 I didn't know them anything I paid my bill every single month. Who's running this company again is it somebody out of SingaporeI find it really degrading and quite ridiculous for them to treat us so ignorantly I should have got back that $150 fee after a year and they never gave it back to me now they're telling me they paid a bill I did not owe $150 in April so how could they possibly have taken it towards my bill? All I know is that America is being run now by women mostly white women and nothing's adding up nobody's doing anything everyone wants to stay home and work in their pajamas and they are ripping us off at 10 times the speed of the white American male when he had everything up. 😮 When will the deceiving practices end the Democratic party has brought nothing but moronic idiots in from community college and people with no college to run America and take advantage of us and we're paying six times over for one bill and I don't understand who's running these companies but you can't blame it on the white man anymore.
i pay 76 dollar per year for 120mbps internet including tv
HDHomeRun does not have an HDMI port. For my AV setup, that's a showstopper.
Cox just cut the cord for me. They discontinued cable service in my area and forced me on to fiber. Their new Contour "DVR" is not a DVR, it's a streamer with some magic "Cloud DVR" functionality. You can get 2, 6, or 24 "tuners" but the whole thing is 100% dependent on having a solid Internet connection; there are no locally-stored recordings. I went looking for a TiVo OTA DVR but it looks like they are all discontinued and existing stocks are sold out. I've had several TiVo DVRs over the years and they are way better than anything else I've seen, but, . . . I guess it's the end of an era.
The cheap boxes are still on Amazon. They are good enough for most folks
Liked, subscribed. Great review! Verizon internet is finally available in my area and I would love to get rid of Charter.
Many thanks! I would just say, don't cancel Charter immediately; try out Verizon first, then you can cancel when you're sure it works well in your area. - Brian
Does this work in 2024???
Yes, absolutely! - Brian
@@disablemycable THANK YOU! I will try it! I just cancelled cable and my tv is blank 😭
Internet is so gianormously expensive now with cable, I can foresee people will be going this route in droves. Myself included. Currently paying over $160 per month on local cable with no download cap, provider is COX. I am going to order this and silently switch it out to see if my family complains or not. If not, then dumping COX, thank you for the review.
Haha, let me know how it goes! - Brian
Thank you for the comparison. I recently cut the cable cord and am now learning about all this “new” technology (yes, I’m behind🤷🏼. Have used cable a long time).
