</span>I had a problem with an HDHR and a DLINK router.
When the HDHR and<br>
backend were connected to the router, packets were lost
every few<br>
seconds, causing pixellation. I fixed it by using a switch
between HDHR<br>
and backend, and just using the router for the Internet
connection. It<br>
seems that the router was dropping packets.<br>

<div>Ya I am beginning to suspect some sort of hardware
issue now. It happens on all frontends and disabling
power savings is not solving it.</div>
<div>Just strange that this all started right after I
upgraded everything.</div>

</div>
<div>Another thing that has reared its head is starting live
tv. Sometimes it continuously stutters. I have to pause
it a few seconds and then all is fine.</div>
<div>Usually occurs when I switch from one live channel to
another, And not everytime.</div>
<div>Still digging around seeing if I can find others with
these issues.</div>

These are notes for how I checked this situation. If you see "n" in
among the dots then you have packet loss (as in the example below).<br>
<br>
Check for packet loss<br>
Low level test for network packet loss - PRIME:<br>
<br>
From a shell (on backend when nothing is recording) run:<br>
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner2/vchannel <channel
number><br>
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF save /tuner2 null<br>
Replace "<channel number>" with the channel number for an
unprotected channel in your area.<br>
If you have more than one HDHomeRun unit then replace "FFFFFFFF"
with the device ID of the desired unit.<br>
You should see a series of dots. "n" indicates network packet loss.
"t" indicates a reception error. "s" is informational.<br>
