Not to mention notch filters aren't perfect, something blocking out San Antonio's KNIC-DT on RF 18 will likely affect Austin's KGBS-CD on RF 19.

A potential solution would be for them to start taking the TSID into account as that value is supposed to be unique. Like when the background scan gets a ...

None of the NYC area bandscans show any simultaneous changes with WCBS's signal like you would see if they switched to one of the backup transmission sites. WCBS is on RF 36, so it might be 5G interference. It could also be atmospheric boost causing Atlantic City's WMGM or Hartford's WFSB to ...

In some markets, ATSC 1.0 simulcasts have already been discontinued, making encryption the default
...
Here in the Tampa market, major broadcasters are transmitting only encrypted ATSC 3.0 signals — and have removed their ATSC 1.0 counterparts entirely.

You might want to resubmit that as that ...

Neither station will be in ATSC 3.0 after 7/28

Fox and ABC removed DRM in Miami. Step in the right direction.

That's only because WPLG's RF 10 signal is switching back to ATSC 1.0 on 7/28 , as their ATSC 1.0 host WSVN can't continue to carry WPLG's 1 HD and 2 SD channels on their RF 9 signal when 7.2 goes HD for the new ABC Miami and 365BLK ...

VLC relies on FFmpeg which doesn't support AC-4, so it just ignores the AC-4 audio stream as unknown binary data

Even though AVC/H264 was added as an optional part of the specs in 2008, manufacturers were still pumping out tuners and TVs that are coded to only recognize streamType 0x02 (MPEG-2) for ATSC 1.0. Most notably the pre-Scripps models of a certain popular DVR. Over at the AVS forum there are a bunch ...

However owners of your 4K tuners are unable to record any programming in 4K or even view programing.
No progress appears to being made to change this, so why bother selling 4K capable SD hardware?

Even if the A3SA approved DRM decoding today, no one is using ATSC 3.0 to broadcast in 4K.

Not all ...

KSAT's ATSC 1.0 channels moved to other signals after their VHF 12 signal converted to ATSC 3.0:
12.1 ABC is on KLRN's VHF 9 signal
12.2 MeTV is on KVDA's UHF 15 signal
12.3 Movies! is on KLRN's VHF 9 signal
12.4 H&I is on KENS's UHF 29 signal
12.5 StartTV is on KNIC's UHF 18 signal

If you also can ...

It's not just converter boxes from the transition era. All of the previous models of one of your competitors network tuners don't support H264, even though their first model came out in the mid-2010s well after H264 was added as an optional part of ATSC 1.0. (It's the one that has since been ...

I am old enough to remember when VCR's came out and there was freedom of the airwaves; none of the broadcasters complained about viewers skipping commercials...
I take it you weren't paying attention to Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc. where Sony (Betamax) only won by a 1 vote ...

The DC ATSC 3 stations seem to have ruined the reception of ABC 7.1 for me. Good thing 107.1 is still unencrypted!

WHUT's UHF 33 signal switching to ATSC 3.0 has nothing to do with WJLA's VHF 7 signal beyond them picking up the ATSC 1.0 simulcasts, which wouldn't affect the transmitter output ...

so I have to assume that transmit power was reduced for some reason.
Nothing changed with OKC's ATSC 1.0 channels, most of them are using the same signals that they've had since the DTV transition since they weren't assigned new RF numbers during the repack. The one station that changed tower ...

Their previous post mentioned Oklahoma City. In that market all of the participating signals come from the same general area, with only one or two blocks between the tower sites.

KFOR (NBC) is on the same tower as the lighthouse KAUT and is the ATSC 1.0 host of 43.1 CW. Prior to the market's ...

Recently, KPTV enabled DRM and they offer no alternative.
KPTV's main ATSC 1.0 signal is still on VHF 12 , where they have been since the 2009 DTV transition. Like many other VHF stations across the country did once the repack filing freeze was lifted, they petitioned for and were granted a ...
