ATSC3.0 is in somewhat of a state of chaos right now. Sure, you can buy a box that supports it, but it might not work later due to DRM. I think we will be safe with ATSC1.0 for a while. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. But if you want to be cutting edge, you can give ATSC3.0 a try.

So just wanted to put this out there for anyone setting up a AirTv 2 or Anywhere. I don’t know how long it’s been an issue but it’s very underreported. If you’re using any kind of Apple product to set this up, it’s not going to work! You will get as far as the channel scan on the airtv set up and then it will just lock up once you start the channel scan. From the little I’ve been able to find using an Amazon or android device will work for the setup and allow it to continue but using an Apple device will not work. I know from personal experience. I do not have access to any of the listed devices that are claimed to work so I cannot say if they do and I’ve only read one Reddit post claiming they had success with the Amazon/android device getting it set up correctly. Very disappointing that Sling will not fix this obviously software issue!!!

Just in case anyone else gets confused: Your router should be connected to the LAN2 port. The narrator specifies the limitations of the LAN1 port in pass-through mode, but doesn’t explicitly say to use LAN2 for the router. It’s more implied and I missed that the first two watches. Also the Verizon instructions specify restarting the router (unplug the power, count to 10, and replug) and then plug in the LAN2 port once the white lite comes on steady.

We got a Tablo a couple of weeks ago and it's been great. I really like the interface and the simplicity. I wish we could watch it away from home, though. It's not a big issue now, but the bulk of football season it may be (so, next year). I just worry that AirTV could go obsolete and won't even be useful in the near future with how hard the product has been to find.

The Others 3 towers miss my residency by 4 to 8 city blocks. I am kind of in the middle but all the Towers just really miss regarding Excellent Signal Strength. I am in a Grey Zone or yeah able to get a signal. It like being in the Eye of the Storm. Seen but Forgotten.

This is fine if you live in a (Flat) area. Digital signals travel in a straight line & will not bend to terrain. If you live in a real hilly area, No signals. I would have to have a 100 foot tower to get to the top of my hill for a signal. I've tried all the rest & it doesn't work. TV station is 12 miles away. That's the problem with digital TV in rural areas. It don't work as promised. Doesn't matter what brand of antenna you have, you must be high enough to grab that signal. I really miss analog TV & radio. You could pick up stuff for hundreds of miles.
