I don't know if there is a list, but I do know that this thread and the other threads on this have bits and pieces of links. I wish someone would gather them all up and pin them in the threads.
That is the problem with all of this is that from where it's started to where it is now has changed a lot and you need to decipher a lot of these threads to get it all working optimally.
This was correct. It was showing I was in the wrong location. For some reason, the fiber at my office shows the wrong locale.
If anyone else reads this, the solution was to click my icon in YTTV (on the Chromecast), go to locations, navigate to where you can update the location. Then open the app on your phone click your user icon, select location, and update the current playback area. I had to do that for each Chromecast, but it seemed to work just fine.
@turtletank first off great job with this!
I was wondering as a feature request if there could be a configurable extra delay in tuning a channel? I have Hulu live but I find the life feeds through the NBC app to be much better than the Hulu app. Problem is that it takes a little extra time to tune and you end up seeing the app before the stream starts. Having a +X delay would allow for some tweaking. See video below and thanks again!
Are location services turned off?
No, see 3 posts above, I got it fixed.
@krazijoe do you have an issue with the nbc app repeadidly asking to link your tv provider? When i try to relink, the website says my code is invalid. I refresh the code and the next one is invalid. This happens on both of my Onn devices. Then i will try again a few minutes later and it will work fine. This morning its back to asking me to link over and over again with invalid codes
I did with YoutubeTV but with DirectTV Stream it's been flawless.

PSA for anyone who hasn't gone through this yet:
I am using hulu live and the NBC app. I bought 2 ONN devices and I had a firestick 4k max already.
Firestick:
Completely unreliable. If I open the hulu app manually then the ADBTuner commands to load a channel work 100% of the time. If the app is not loaded then it works about 50% of the time. I'm not heart broken anyway, as I cannot stand Amazons in home ad delivery system anyway.

Enable stay awake while charging
I had an issue where Channels was recording a channel where there were 4 shows in a row. After the 3rd show the popup came on the screen that says the device is going to sleep soon. Then it killed the video feed. The stay awake while charging completely solved this.

Apps only mode
Holy crap this makes Android TV as close as it can get to being as user friendly as an Apple TV! All of the stupid crap on the homescreen is gone. This made setup of the apps MUCH easier and just generally looks better. To get to this screen, select your profile pic, then manage accounts, select your account again, scroll down to apps only mode and select it. Then you get a warning that they will not be able to give you a personalized experience (ads) and you really need to think about this. LOL, yeah no thanks.

Ethernet adapter and USB Debugging
You have to either choose ADB or Ethernet which I do not like. However there is a workaround. Turn off USB debugging and then change the USB behavior to NDIS. Reboot the device, when you verify Ethernet works OK, turn USB debugging back on. All is well until the next reboot.
I have heard that there might be a ADB command that will enable this permanently but nothing concrete. If anyone has any insight on this that would be awesome.

When i first started using ADB Tuner, I was on Hulu Live tv.
The experience was just not good at all.
I filled over to YTTV. and all is good.
Hulu requires too much behind scenes messing with things.
Went over to YTTV then moved to Fubo and went to the docker.j

What's the most economical HDMI encoder that offers the best experience and has been tested to work? The only issue I have with Channels at the moment is I can't get NBC Boston for my Celtics. I use YTTV to watch that. It would be great to add this setup to pull in a DRM channel or two. However, I'd rather not spend a few hundred to make that happen.
Have had really good luck with the LinkPi, both the single and five port models. Would highly recommend.

That's a pretty good deal for 5 HDMI inputs, even at regular price. Anyone using that device?
There is a whole thread of us

I have the five port ENCv2. I may have been the first to get one when they became available in November. Big fan, works well, and price per port is great. If you just want one tuner the LinkPi ENC1v3 is also excellent at about $130.
Are you saying that you are a big fan of the unit or that there is a big loud fan in the unit?
Yeah i have one of these and you do have to make room for the fan
I should clarify. By “big fan”, I am a big fan of the product. The actual device does not have a fan or any moving parts.
Thanks.
And yeah, slampman, the 13900k machine I built last year could probably use something like that!
Can this approach be used for any Android TV app that has a linear feed? For example the NESN app has live channels. Can I use this to pull those in? Similar to say the NBC Sports application?
Between this extension and ah4c, yes. Use ADBTuner for apps that support deep links, and ah4c for those that don't.
