Hey @shillyar,

The PPV movie was playng and then i was tring to record homeland and watch it and it said something like low bandwidth and it would not be able to support good resolution.

so i guess the question i have always asked is

how does a PPV movie get downloaded this days to the DVR and client ? how do i watch and record like homeland via a client ie: is it getting converted to IP and sent via the bridge ? What is the purpose of the wireless bridge i have upstairs ? why cant i just hardwire all my devices since i have switches in every room and that would eliminate any wifi bottle necks. There has always been a rj45 plug on all direct devices

but,no one seems to know what its really for.

Hey @shillyar,

PPV movies get downloaded via Internet onto the DVR. The client streams the information from the DVR. The wireless bridge connects all clients together. You can upgrade and request a completely wired setup. 

Do you have Internet with us? Which plan do you have?

Let us know if this helps.

I have comcast 300M package. ive been tring to go hardwired

for years and i have been told many times dont use the rj45 jack since day 1 but, no one could tell me why.

so can i just start plug in the boxes to my switches and the DVR will find all the clients automatically ?
