OK. I've been moving things around here. I'm in the process of transitioning from Spectrum cable (bye bye, cablecards) to fiber/Youtube TV, and the Flex 4K antenna must have moved just enough to throw things off. I'll work on that. Thanks for checking.

I don't know how long this has been going on with my Flex 4K, but after reading a few other threads here of people losing channels, I figured I'd check mine. My channel count went from 45 to 28 that I'm able to receive now. All of the lost channels happen to be ATSC 1.0 channels, so I don't know if ...

Same here. Both my HDHR3-CC boxes updated to 20260313 firmware a few days ago with no issues. Spectrum with Arris/Motorola CCs in the Detroit suburbs. And by the way, KeithAbbott, both boxes are receiving the new sports network DSN, channel 291.

Fancy new energy-efficient windows by chance? Or with tint or a metal bug screen?


Yes, energy efficient, but with, I believe, fiberglass screen.

The nano metal particles in Low-E glass can act as a barrier, causing poor reception for indoor antennas placed behind these windows.

As a ...

Is the antenna installed vertically with the cable coming out the bottom and oriented so that the RCA logo is facing either directly towards the towers or directly in the opposite direction?

Is the antenna installed towards the eastern side of your house? What kind of material is the outer wall ...

OK, so you just have terrible reception in general. What kind of antenna are you using?


I've tried a bunch of indoor antennas, with and without amplifiers, and this is what I settled on.

I am roughly at 9 Mile and Haggerty in Novi.

Interesting. What do your signal numbers look like on WTVS (20) and WWJ (21)? Do you get WUDL on 35/virtual 19 at all ...

Try it now.

That works. What does the signal quality look like with only PLP 1 checked?

Which direction are you from the tower, which is at 8 Mile and Meyers Road in Oak Park?

WDIV is back again. Go figure.

Now I'm back to not being able to receive WDIV (104.1) in Detroit. I don't know what's going on with their signal. I was able to receive it very well over the last weekend.

For the first time in months, I, too, am now receiving a strong, stable signal from WDIV (104.1).

Hopefully this will be done by February 2028

I find it interesting that nowhere in this article is 4K mentioned as one of the benefits of ATSC 3.0. It is only alluded to as "delivering superior picture ...
