<div class="">You can use the hdhomerun_config and
hdhomerun_config_gui utilities to see the status of the stream
using the following example:</div>

I had the same problem with HD Homerun Prme, and the above test
showed dropped packets. It was my router that was dropping UDP
packets. I changed to a switch instead of the router between the
HDHomerun Prime and the backend and the problem was solved.<br>
