I do relize the initial setup of Silicon dust doe's require internet connection but after it's setup is the ?.?

also concerned w/ how a win10 PC sleeps like when it needs to wake for a scheduled recording will the logon pin# need to be entered? thanks for advise.

No internet connection is required for ATSC 1. On Windows in ATSC mode you can scan without Internet.

The web app never needs to be open except for setup All the real work is done by the recording service. The web app is just a GUI to that service.

ok thats good to know. what about the w/ how a win10 PC sleeps like when it needs to wake for a scheduled recording will the logon pin# need to be entered? or will Nextpvr wake the win10 pc.then after recording go back to sleep basicly the pc never powers off so no need to ever renter the logon pin#? thanks again for advise

No, it doesn’t need pin to be entered to record. All that stuff happens in the background.

I answered that. The login pin is the web GUI. If you have Windows sleep an BIOS configured properly there won't be a problem

ok thats good. so how to setup win10 devices to wake PC. or is Nextpvr automaticely on the list of devices to wake PC an setup is needed? additionaly I would like to be able to include a mouse an keyboard to wake PC.

so the Nextpvr his is a standalone PC meaning internet connection not required.
thanks

didn't understand web GUI if this is a standalone PC meaning internet connection not required.

Where do you enter the PIN if not on NextPVR's web GUI?

It's hosted on it's own machine. It doesn't need to go out to the internet for this.

I assumed he was talking about the windows lock screen, which in Win10/11 often uses a pin code
