Howdy all,
New Echo user here - seems pretty slick so far, easy plug and play setup and all channels streaming fine (even HBO HD) using WMC7, HDHomeRun Prime and 100baseT ethernet.
But it's a little concerning that Ceton is apparently leaving the Echo to fall into the big heap of defunct MC...

Simply put i have to pair the echo EVERY TIME i turn it on. It works just fine after i pair it. It simply will not keep itself paired.
Any thoughts?
Using Windows 7. Can watch TV just fine on my PC.
Thanks!

I had an issue similar to this. I had 2 of my echos plugged into my router, and 2 of them into a switch. once i connected all of the echos to the switch where the HTPC was, everything worked(yes the switch was connected to the router :/). Doesn't make sense, but that's what did it for me.

Ceton Echo app for iOS, Android and Fire TV
Replies: 14

7up » Sat Jan 03, 2015 7:27 pm
First post
As Ceton was working on converting the Echo to running Android, why didn't they just release the app separately? Current My Media Center app runs well on Fire TV but lacks streaming. If Ceton released an Echo app and it was combined with a h.264 transcoding tuner, It would be a killer combo.

When i bough mine i only paid 79 and 99 for new units from newegg. That was a few years ago and now they should be less with the end to WMC and ECHO's.

Sound to me like your router's DHCP server is reassigning the echo's a different IP address when they are turned back on, forcing a repair with the WMC host.
I like the way you worded that, and I think you might be correct.

You can view which account it is by simply turning on the extender and then logging into your WMC PC and view all accounts logged in (say, through task manager->users), FYI.
