Hi realize the main point of thread is around streaming. Per the posts with HDMI this is what I have. Replaced a Dish DTVPal with Quad HDMI. Installed 04 Jun 2022, connected to my WiFi hotspot (size of deck of cards, no wire connections), did channel scan, picked my channels and went to watching tv. After a bit same day to allow it to download the 2 week channel guide went into settings and turned off WiFi. Have done mostly manual recordings with some from guide. All record and play fine with no internet. Waiting for guide data to run out to see how it handles. Would seem just need to connect to internet if I rescan and add channels so they would show as placeholders in guide screen with channel numbers or to check for updated software. Has exceeded expectations as Tivo was flat no internet / useless box.
