Can you confirm that you don't need an internet connection for this to work? I could do without the Rovio program guide. Or Vudu.

Yes, you can use the device without an Internet connection. We had to use it that way for over a week. The 2 things that it effects are the channel guide, and updates to the system. You can load updates to a USB drive from your computer, and then transfer it to the device.

Internet is not required for this box to work! You'll still get guide data as well. -Shane

Consumers should read the Rovi privacy policy. They track and sell your viewing to third parties then stream advertising to the ROVI guide. http://www.rovicorp.com/privacy-policy.html

you don't need the internet to run the box by itself. As far as I know the Rubio built in guide will work with out the internet. however, if you need to update software for either Rubio or channel master you will need the internet.

Without an internet connection, the CM7500 uses the PSIP program guide data broadcast by each TV station (FCC reg.). The PSIP program guide is usually only 8-24hrs while the internet based Rovi guide is 14 days. p 32 of the CM7500 User Guide says: "If your DVR+ receiver is not connected to the Internet, then the DVR+ populates the program guide with data from the broadcast signals. Each channel decides how to populate this data, so the amount varies. Your receiver displays as much as possible." Seems to me that once one sets up the weekly schedule, name based recording should work very well using just the smaller PSIP program guide. One disadvantage of using just the 8-24 hrs PSIP guide is that recording schedule conflicts will not be identified as early (the CM7500 will only be able to detect conflicts 8-24 hrs ahead).

Since the guide is free, I dunno why you wouldn't want the guide, but maybe you don't have internet access? Anyway, you can set up manual recordings if you know the date/time of your show. The OTA guide that TV stations send out is very poor, you might get two days ahead if you are lucky.

Yes. Connect either with hdmi or RCA audio video jacks. Offcourse an Internet connection is needed.

It will work with HBOGO, and Vudu for sure. They are pre-loaded on the unit. Like many have reported this gadget has a lot of problems, if the company ever gets their act together it might be a pretty cool item. My unit is unable to download anything and I still haven't figured out how to fix the problem. The Equiso tech responded quickly to my email, but so far his suggestions has not cured my issue. So for Maxgo, I can't comment (this app is not pre-loaded on the stick).

Leigh, we also have the problem with "no internet access." So far, I haven't found any real solution except for unplugging and replugging the adapter. The tech guy from Medialink couldn't figure out the problem either.

Is your TV direct connected or are you going to the internet via wireless? If wireless it doesn't work.

I tried this with Roku 3 to connect to a VGA projector. It keeps getting interrupted with digital rights management warnings.:(

You would have to connect it to a video card, it does not connect via usb or wifi.

It does not have any way to access video other than Ethernet or WiFi. Unless you have a smart TV with supporting apps, it won't work.

The supplied DVR and camera combination will work fine without an internet connection. However you will have to supply a monitor to view the recordings or live video feeds.

Yes mines works fine but it's not a T.v it's a video monitor which means you can load and watch DVD. Either through the front loader or thru USB drive hope this helps you!!!!!!!!

My unit is working fine, no support problems. I have a dvd karoke unit, roku, tvpad, appletv and dvd/vcr recorder all connected to it.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

Hi, I may be able to help you with remote viewing. Some apps seem to be more compatible than others. What kind of device and what operating system do you intend to use ?

Under BD/DVD viewing settings there is a setting to allow BD internet connection. Not shown in manual.

Problem solved.....apparently al that was required is to first connect the device to a tv, the updated firmware was already installed...no need to download firmware.....
