Nomad takes Forever to Download
Have nomad set up on Iphone and Ipad. It is direct connect to my FIOS router. It seems to be taking a VERY long time to download to the mobile apps. Definitely not a 1:1. Any suggestions on how to fix. All DVRs connected fine, same home network, etc. This is now starting to seem like a huge waste of money.

And it is not PPV, VOD, or off-air content.

You need to separate the time to "prepare" and the time to download. As a test, delete anything you have currently running, then select a single 1/2 or 1 hour program. Put it to preparing and shut down the App or software. Set a time for the length of the program plus say 5 minutes and go about your business. Open the program or App and you should get a "want to download your program?" notice. if So, say yes and time it. I did a 30 minute show and it took 3 minutes.

started a 1 hour show at 10:42, checked back at 11:42 and need to re-press the download button and now it is re-downloading w/ 7 mins left. To say this is untested technology would be an understatement.

The program was all prepared for you, you had to complete the download after the preparation was complete, thus the 7 minutes. The 7 minutes is right on with my tests, a 1/2 hour show takes 3 minutes and a 1 hour show about 6 minutes.
Read post #3 again and you'll see there is no way for the program to "download" until after it is "prepared". The preparation requires the length of the program but can be done when the iPhone or computer is shut down. The "download" can only occur when the iPhone or computer is running.
Your system is operating exactly as designed.
