Do you find your legacy PVR/STB to be snappy?
I remember back when I got my PVR/STB many years ago, everything felt snappy. Over time, things seem to slow down. There's lag here and there now with the UI. Anyone else here notice the same thing? I wonder if it's the background software updates over the years that just slow things down?Telus is giving us a tough time
We’ve been moved to fibre, a forced move since we were happy with copper and our agreements and bills till last October. Everything needs to be updated and we agreed, even if it was so difficult, to do the update. Old house, lots of issues. Since last week most of the issues have been resolved. A technician still needs to come to move the Optic TV service. Nonetheless, we are still receiving email and menacing letters, even registered letters to move before they cut the copper. It doesn’t depend on us. It depends on the availability of the technician , and we have to wait till mid May. I called the support and told to stop sending those email and letters because we had three-quarter of our services moved already and it’s up to them to finish the job, not to us, but they said they cannot do anything to stop it till it’s fully completed. Plus they moved our phone line to fibre as well but doing that Telus as removed and changed our service. Before we had a long distance plan that was convenient for us now they eliminated the long-distance plan and they want us to pay $25 more On the back of the letters sent to us, it’s clearly written that the costs and the services we have will not be changed and we will not be directly impacted by this migration. I already called the support three times but each time they have a new excuse. The first one was we cannot do anything now, till the phone has been moved to fibre. then, you need to call the loyalty department , where they could not care less of our issue and the last one was: “OK we can put you back on copper to give you the same service you had.” BS: we can’t go back to copper thanks to Telus forcing us to move to fibre because they are removing the copper in our area, so they wrote and told us. It’s really frustrating to have to deal with this wall of incompetence. Where could we have our rights taken seriously?Has anyone got their fully bridged NAH working with legacy PVR/STB?
It's a shame that I can only bridge one port or the entire NAH. I've been advised that if the NAH is fully bridged then my legacy PVR/STB will no longer work. Has anyone managed to get the PVR/STB with a fully bridged NAH? If so, what are the details of your setup to get this working? I do have a Ubiquiti UCG-Fiber.Help me understand the MoCA port on the Arcadyan NH20A and optimize my network topography
So my NH20A has a MoCA port, and it's connected to an RG-6 cable in the structured media enclosure. The PVR is connected to the ECB6250 via Ethernet, and the other end of the adapter is connected to the Coax port in the wall. Is it possible to plug a switch into the ECB6250 so that I'll have additional Ethernet ports for WiFi or wired connections? If this doesn't work, can I swap the ECB6250 with this? https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-High-Speed-Ethernet-Streaming-KB-M3-02/dp/B0DMFLBZZ5/ref=mp_s_a_1_1 Since the NH20A has a MoCA port, I'm assuming I won't need a MoCA adapter for it. I'm assuming I'll just need a MoCA adapter for the rooms where I'll need internet and TV. If the room already has a Coax port and the TV works through it, then I'm assuming it's just plugging in the gear for internet and no other configuration is required? What are the specs of the NH20A's MoCA port? Is it capable of 2.5GbE? What is the maximum number of adapters it'll support in the mesh? If I want all of my STBs hardwired, can I use MoCA adapters to do that and keep port 2-4 of the NH20A free for other uses? Then I'll bridge port 1 for another router. What do you guys think of this topography?
Pixelating Feed
Anyone else experiencing pixelating feed during original TV broadcasts and pixelated playback on recordings including audio studder. It's happening with more regularity and in some cases longer duration of late during consecutive mins of a broadcasts and recordings. It's random across channels and I have not experienced it during any streaming services.
Lost full list of PVR recordings and painful customer service.
So all pvr recordings in my list are gone today. Spent 1 hour 41 minutes mostly on hold with some of the most horribly annoying, repeating, elevator music I have heard. Transferred once and had to revalidate with the rep which doesn’t make sense since I was transferred internally. Then I am told sorry I can’t help and you will hear back from our back office in 7 working days. So no resolution or explanation and no recorded programming to watch on the weekend as I was expecting. Frustrating system that already wasn’t great as programs would show as recorded then wouldn’t play, or have glitchy or freezing audio or video. I have replaced the tv box once, and been through the unplug and replug order too many times (with all devices on different floors which is a pain) and I gave up calling for the issue as I don’t have 2 hours to waste every time I have to call. With the cost of the tv service, I expect better than this. Has anyone ever gotten decent, timely, proper resolution to their issues or is this a lost cause? Loyalty and a long list of services doesn’t make any difference. I feel like picking a service provider is like picking the one that has the least horrible service.
Telus TV+ channel guide keeps switching to "all channels"
I'm experiencing an issue with my Telus TV+ channel guide. The filter and sort settings keep reverting to “All channels,” even though I had selected “My favourite channels.” While the TV is on, the guide correctly shows “My favourite channels” after I select it. However, after turning the TV off and then back on later, the guide has reset to show “All channels.” I’ve restarted both of my digital boxes, but that didn’t resolve the issue. This has been happening for several days. Is this an issue for anyone else?
