I do the same normally (AT&T) as well. However, Google makes some of its DNS servers available to the public, and many people use them for one reason or another. In my case, I tried one of them to see whether it was just my local setup (router or ISP DNS) failing resolution. It wasn’t. My phone, which uses T-Mobile (and thus a different DNS) for data, also couldn’t resolve the URL. I can VPN into work from my laptop, which then causes DNS lookups to occur from the laptop against work DNS servers; that URL wouldn’t resolve against my work’s DNS servers, either. I suppose I could change my router to use Level3’s DNS… but I really shouldn’t have to. Still, I appreciate your input!
Rebel.ca does have a whois record for nuvyyo.com that points to name servers at Linode. Same place we host our servers.
On reflection, the wifiapp is of course a subdomain of nuvyyo.com and I can’t remember who is responsible for resolving that. ICANN’s servers probably simply redirected me to the domaini name registrar for the domain, and the Candian registrar didn’t ignore the subdomain name in trying to do the lookup. Still, not everyone can get to wifiap.nuvyyo.com

I tried using the Tablo Android app to set up my new Tablo 64GB DVR. It sits there forever with “Waiting to Connect to Wi-fi…”

I think what would be super-useful is if you could let us know how to modify the Tablo Android app.
That’s the problem we’re trying to resolve. All the rest is just some of us, like Plato’s slaves, being chained to a wall, trying to name a reality based on our observations in the the flickering fire of the Internet.
