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 ...

No, the Flex 4K is ATSC/QAM only and Europe uses DVB.

If unencrypted 4K broadcasts are available terrestrially (DVB-T/T2) or on cable (DVB-C) in your country, you can get them with the DVB Flex model HDFX-4DT and if you don't need the USB hard drive option, you can use the DVB models of the Connect ...

The Prime/hdhr3cc is a cable only device

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

The version in the Google Play Store has a bug where it will not play ATSC 3.0 channels on devices that don't have an AC-4 decoder. It is fixed in the above version, but we're having some issues getting it approved in the Play Store and that may not be able to be resolved until next week. You can ...

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 ...
