![]() With intrusion detection turned off, it seemed to work properly. It is quite possible I did not have it configured properly, but later I realized it probably would not help at all because the streaming is done through Plex and not a direct connection to the HDHomeRun via multicast.Īfter a while of thinking and looking up various issues online, I decided to try to see if it was a firewall issue. I looked into things such as mDNS to try to propagate the video stream from my IoT network to my server network, but that never seemed to help. No HD video streams would get past the initial buffering. Also, I tried mirroring the iPad on the Apple TV but that was even worse.įast forward to New Year’s Eve and watching the Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years Eve coverage. I tried adjusting settings on the Apple TV, the iPad, etc and even tried using the native HDHomeRun app on my iPad which seemed slightly smoother but was not perfect. I have only experienced a few glitches on rare occasions. The most baffling part being that the DVR functionality works nearly flawlessly. It simply was not an enjoyable experience. Rebooting the server and the HDHomeRun seemed to help slightly. It would constantly glitch and buffer every minute or so. However, when my family tried to stream the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the video streaming was horrid. I tried watching live TV a few times and it seemed ok when I initially tried it. ![]() ![]() I used this configuration for several months without noticing too many issues. I run OPNsense with intrusion detection blocking enabled (IPS mode). The HDHomeRun is able to phone home to check for firmware updates so the device is not strictly an offline device (unless steps are taken to intentionally block access), which mean the risk of being hacked exists. ![]() Originally I placed my HDHomeRun Prime device on my IoT network to keep it separate from my server, which I think makes sense since it is essentially an IoT device that infrequently receives updates from the manufacturer. To make use of the TV/DVR capability you must have a Plex Pass (monthly, yearly, or lifetime) and a compatible cable box such as any of the HDHomeRun products. On my home network, I host the Plex Media Server software on my server and make use of its Live TV and DVR capabilities.
