2nd Gen FireTV MAX Stick & DVR Compatibility

Anyone having Channels DVR compatibility issues with the newest Gen FireTV 4K MAX Stick? Purchased one on 02/09/2024 and setup to LG 77 OLED on 02/11, Super Bowl Sunday. This newest stick, my 11th stick purchase, presents numerous display and audio issues; jumping, jittering and skipping. I performed a factory default reset with update to OS 8.1.0.2; used a 8K HDMI cable; Ethernet connection then 6E wifi in home network (Channels DVR data transfer rate is 101mbps on on either). Still no joy. So I moved the older (working) FireTV 4K Max stick back into position. I like the concept of its noticably faster processor, 16 GB memory and other new features, but I'm returning it to try a replacement. Amazon side note: as always, returning is easy but replacing the stick with another is proving challenging. Supplies are limited and I'm disallowed checkout. Working this thru with Amazon now.

I have been using one for more than 3 months. I haven't seen any problems. I only use wifi 6 for my connection, but it has been very solid. I have used Channels DVR, Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Paramount, Peacock and Britbox with no problems. It is still not quite fast enough to eliminate many dropped frames using Channels DVR on ATSC 3.0 stations, but I don't ever plan to use ATSC 3.0 stations with Channels DVR.

No problems at all has been flawless best device to Play ATSC 3.0. Channels DVR works fantastically on it.

Just got one 2 weeks ago. I have a wired Internet connection. No problems at all with the video. I run it through a Pioneer A/V receiver to an LG TV.
