When I installed Channels DVR on Windows, it prompted me to turn off Flow Control on the NIC in the server. According to Wikipedia this stops traffic upon congestion. Channels says this specifically causes issues with HD Homerun devices.
While my FireTV’s are all on ethernet, the Plex server running the DVR is at another physical location 30 miles away (other side of a mountain for better reception). So if others having the issue are on WiFI, could it be that Flow Control is kicking in when latency occurs, and is causing issues where the Plex server interrupts the stream and that in turn causes the HD Homerun to stop the stream?
When installing I noted that I should retry Plex with this disabled once I confirmed I didn’t have the same issues with Channels, but Channels has been working so well, and I had shut off the Plex Server on that machine, since I was only using it to get Live TV from a better reception area (have another server on my LAN for my library).
So something someone could try if running on Windows - I also disable all the other power saving / green features on the NIC while in there. I had turned them off in Windows power settings, but didn’t realize there were additional ones in the adapter properties.
