    would I have any advantages using the R1 with the alternative firmware?

    there are some on ebay atm.

    No idea. I’ve never used one. I do know they are expensive though. Just be careful they are not fakes. I’m not seeing any available on eBay at the moment. They are available on Amazon UK £287 plus delivery but they don’t deliver outside the UK.

    is the digibit R1 still the device to get or are there any newer solutions?`

    They rebuild my flat and the TV Ports are on the wrong end of the room.

    I still use my old mini ITX System with an PCI DVB Card and a raspi as TV Headend frontend, but the miniITX System is in an hifi case and huge.

    The R1 is still available if you look hard enough but it is quite expensive €300 approx. The alternative Twin at €80 is available from the likes of here https://talk-point.de/products/10703597-0

    Aren't spam posts prevented that they are disabled by default anyway? They will not pass through the censor so they will never be public?

    Or why not just activate a automated anti-spam solution like akismet and send the mods home (or have them only work 10% of the time for the same result?). It looks like the people in charge aren't really capable (or willing) running a community. Very sad for the project!

    Withholding information is the essence of tyranny. Control of the flow of information is the tool of the dictatorship.

    You’re straying into the world of narcissism. Your comments have absolutely nothing to do with LE and I imagine you are approaching the three strike rule. Did you just sign up here to criticise.

    Are there any other USB devices attached to it that could be drawing a heavy load. You haven’t mentioned this in your original post. Are you running the Pi3 off a power strip. Try relocating it. If all else fails your PSU could be gone bad or you may have a short. If the PI3 is in a case remove it and hook it all up again. Also with the Pi3 powered off try reconnecting the HDMI cable.

    I’d strongly suggest you return your purchase to the supplier and obtain a replacement or refund. They are probably the best people to take up your annoyance with. It does sound like you have some form of hardware failure and as you state a lot of what is being suggested to you to remedy the situation is beyond your skill sets. The error message is quite generic and is not pointing you to any specific failure on your system. Without your NUC in front of us all we can do is offer suggestions.

    Might be worth your while reading through this purely to get a sense of what may be at play here. The likes of updating firmware etc are something to consider too. I don’t own a NUC but this post may point you in the right direction to finding a solution. Read it from start to finish before attempting any fixes.

    Have you tried to create a Ubuntu Live USB stick so you can fully evaluate your NUC. I assume you are a Windows user so follow these instructions. You can then eliminate hardware issues on your NUC and your USB stick. If the stick boots Ubuntu Live you’ll know your problem lies with your image creator

    Do you really have to wait 40 minutes? In my case its only a minute or two which is only very mildly annoying, and I quite understand why.

    This post effectively covers it all. If you’re a Tor or VPN user expect disruption and for good reason too. Neither are particularly encouraged in the forum. Even those who strip out all the banned addons before they post a log invariably leave traces.

    I think the reference to “toy class” might be a little understating the ability of these boards. Yes the original concept was aimed at the “tinkering” class but what has emerged from this sector are some very capable next generation HTPC solutions either self built or pre built professionally.

    Personally my own HTPC is self built around the Rock64 (RK3328) a 2017 era SoC which outputs HDR but if you investigate the newer boards from this manufacturer you may be pleasantly surprised at their capabilities.

    The pandemic completely interrupted the manufacturing and supply lines of this sector of board production but I suspect that Intel’s decision to exit the NUC sector may well have been influenced in part by what they see coming down the line from the likes of Rockchip and other similar manufacturers.

    Don’t have the time or patience for this. I’m sure with these posts you’ve reached your quota now but good luck with your next pursuit. Hate feeding narcissists. Totally exhausting
