There are no commercial markings in the broadcast.

A good percentage of adverts do no contain closed captioning. No closed captioning due to an advert and no closed captioning due to nobody talking look the same.


It was never about CC itself.

I am going to prefer to think I did not explain it ...

Any chance of a future device like this?


Always a chance, but it seems unlikely, as it would (typically) require additional hardware (tuner/demod) support, and few (to none) would be willing to pay for such support (and if everyone is not willing to do so, how much additional would you ...

This is mostly good news for broadcasters.


Congratulations to SD.

Having more than one viable solution provider is typically good for the potential clients (while collusion is possible, having alternatives tends to drive the price(s) down).

Being a CA is not intellectually hard, but the ...

Detecting commercials requires a fairly powerful system to decode and analyze the audio and video. The HDHomeRun DVR is intentionally designed to be very lightweight and able to run on minimal hardware, including FLEX devices and low-end NAS boxes. It also has no knowledge of the audio and video ...

I can't imagine the cable industry inventing or adopting another DRM system at this point. TV over QAM is on its way out.


*Every* major operator has indicated that their future solution will be IPTV based in major industry events. Some (especially the smaller ones) by exiting the TV service ...

I think you said the problem in your post. Port their software. They are still in the software business and it would be a hefty price and or not able to due to patents.


TiVo, the consumer DVR company, has gone through numerous corporate MA&D over the years. One of the most recent changes was a ...

I was just thinking it might be nice if HDHomeRun supported IP TV. The implementation would be where I could add m3u entries from something like https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/tree/master/streams and assign them channel names.

The majority of those m3u entries are not authorized by ...

They are not available until Oct 15.

It requires a completely new app implementation. Once we have one here we will verify if the OS provides the features and level of access needed to be useful.


This response suggests that Amazon did not reach out to SD to assist you in a migration before the ...

I remember back in the day, like most everyone here, getting a couple of $40 coupons to buy a couple of Zenith converter boxes which had a very sensitive tuner. I still have both boxes too. LOL.
In today's money, the FCC should now give up a $200 coupon for a STB. ;)


Such converter boxes have ...

That post is bullshit and Luke Bouma should be embarrassed. Absolutely nothing changed because of the FCC's public notice. It was literally just a restatement of all ...

very odd. 5 min ago I was getting 98 channels now it shows 83. I guess I have to invest in a lte/5g filter. which one is best for low-vhf. thanks.

fyi with the old antenna I was getting 120 channels.


EDIT: Looking at the specs for that antenna, it appears to have a preamp which already has a ...

That is correct. Matching is via public IP address and we don't know the public IPv4 address of a tuner that connects to our servers using IPv6.

Perhaps IPv6 capable devices (if they also have an IPv4 address) should also attempt to contact the servers via IPv4 to add those devices to the ...

Yes, I know SD recommends against using cloud based discovery (and I mostly don't use is, but I do offer it as an option for one of my apps). But I have observed a couple of what I consider to be anomalies (errors) in the results.

First, if one uses the IPv4 endpoint, or the default endpoint, which ...

Is there a way to tell from the device ID if a device is legacy or not? If it is not legacy and perhaps an edge case in my own system can the device ID show if the device is ATSC/QAM vs DVB-T/C?


The official definition of the algorithm for determining from the device id if a device is legacy ...

FANTASTIC response Nick! Detailed and complete, and even I could understand it. I think any FCC commissioner could understand it as well.


Just for the record, it is likely that no commissioner will ever actually read it.

While the FCC Commissioners are the leadership, and make the decisions ...
