That led us to notice something else. Assuming the antenna has a signal booster powered through USB, you may run into an issue where there’s not enough slack. For instance, the USB port on the Dual HDMI is purely for external storage and is not a power source, so we had to use the one on the TV itself. The cable for our Mohu antenna forks into the coaxial and USB extensions, but each of them has to be plugged into separate devices — coaxial into the Tablo unit, USB into the TV. For a wall-mounted TV, this made for an awkward setup because of how short the cable was. We tried using a USB extender cable to make up the difference, only to then lose the booster’s power. … [Read more...] about Nuvyyo Tablo Dual HDMI OTA DVR review: Simple and direct

How to get Netflix for free
Chances are most folks are shelling out at least $13.99/month for their Netflix package. The middle-of-the-road plan lets you watch Netflix on more than one screen, and the $17.99 UHD plan allows for viewing on up to four devices. What we’re getting at is as long as your in-laws share their Netflix login with you, and they’re not watching Netflix on more than one of their own devices, you can use their second (third, or fourth) device for yourself. Better yet, Netflix allows you to create up to five different user profiles, which means on top of free Netflix viewing, you also get your own watchlist and recommendations. Make sure your mother-in-law feels the love next Christmas. … [Read more...] about How to get Netflix for free
