Using a network monitor I see that the bitrate goes up beyond the 1500, and beyond my max upload speed, so it gets choppy on occasion.
And TruTV is showing a show with a lot of movement, so that's almost like sports...
It appears VLC doesn't respect the bitrate setting, or the rate is average (as in not maximum allowed).
I too am at work (so over the WAN). At home I have 10mb/s upload. Looking at network monitor is is showing a speed between 6-8mb/s, under my max upload. I am watching espn right now at 576 Res, 2000 bit rate. It is fine. When I switch over to TruTV with the same exact settings it is choppy. Looking at Networking monitor when I switch over to TruTV, it is using less bandwidth, between 4-5mb/s. This is just really confusing.
**EDIT** Disregard, I restarted and that fixed the problem of not being able to use the HD Homerun: Also, a different issue, but it appears now that my HD Homerun prime will not work. I removed the Ceton to see if that was the problem leaving only my HD Homerun. When I try to start the stream in VLC it does nothing and on the server side it says "HDHomeRunTuner: Could not receive rtsp response".
**UPDATE**. So I took my Ceton out of rotation, leaving just the HD Homerun Prime. The same problem persist with the HD Homerun.
