I get multiple audio and video dropouts and stutters (will sometimes get the circle of death) when watching via Plex, but not when watching direct via the HDHomeRun app. I had Silicondust support read my logs, but they aren’t seeing any issues in the HDHomeRun logs.

Signal strength is seemingly very good. Any idea how to improve or what to test?

Remote or local? If local make sure your firewall/ports are configured correctly. Have seen where local computers were actually streaming over the internet instead of over the local network.

Local. I have not encountered any other firewall related trouble, local or remote.

I’m just throwing this out there as something to try. My off-air reception, not signal strength, really improved with an LTE/5G filter. There are interferences that are possible from cell towers that cause strange problems. Just a thought.

Thank you! I’ll give that a try.

@Plex - any additional thoughts?
