LiveTV Pixelation on HD Homerun Prime

hi all,

I’ve got HD Homerun prime – right now hooked in with coax.
I have an mcard but it’s not being used at the moment. Will probably hook it in tomorrow.

Running and piped into Kodi in a few places.

First, I’ve got the HD Homerun add-on running in videos section.
it looks pretty good. 119 channels with my particular service.

Second I’ve got the HD HomerunPVR running – TV Section activated.
same 119 channels show up but only the main channels are listed with names.
The others are blank, like 5092 unknown.

Anyway, my question is this:
I’m seeing pixelation of live tv.

Not sure if it’s related to using coax instead of cable card / mcard.
Not sure if it’s related to settings on app or live tv.
My internet is Fios 100mb up and down. Speed confirmed around that mark.
I’ve got kodi sideloaded onto amazon firetv.
All cabled up via ethernet.

Any ideas?

Anyone have experience with this, or, more importantly, how to fix it?

Thanks! appreciate any info.

Craig
