Re: having issue with my HDHomerun again..

KCWX is moving from VHF-lo 5 to a DTS operation on VHF-Hi 8 . I'm not sure which of them will cover your area, but they will have sites in Albert/Lindendale , Austin , Atascosa , Lake Hills/Blue Heaven , Mountain Home and Cherokee .

You don't have to worry about DRM as KCWX is also the ATSC 1.0 ...

Re: Android / Fire TV app release


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 ...

Re: Curious as to why I can't receive one particular channel


WMOS-CD rebroadcasts CBS and is 11 miles away instead of 55.

Unless WOMS-CD converted to ATSC 3.0 without properly notifying the FCC, it doesn't rebroadcast WWMT/CBS.

The RabbitEars data for WOMS-CD and the other repeaters are screwed up since they're still flagged as repeaters of WXSP-CD ...

Re: Curious as to why I can't receive one particular channel

If you're talking about WOMS-CD on RF 29, that's only a 0.4 kW signal. Also, the RabbitEars data for it got screwed up when WXSP-CD and WOLP-CD converted to ATSC 3.0 for Grand Rapids, while their former simulcasts including Muskegon's WOMS-CD remained ATSC 1.0.

Its entire lineup is carried by other ...

Re: Unable to upgrade firmware on HDFX-2US

"hdhomerun3_atsc_firmware" is for the legacy DUAL gen-3 (HDHR3-US)

For the Flex Duo (HDFX-2US) you need to use "hdhomerun_dvr_atsc_firmware":

Re: Still unable to get WBAY locked back in as of April 1st but I might have found a solution that HDHomeRun have to do

According to the live bandscan at RabbitEars, WBAY still has 2.6 in their PSIP data, although as of 4/1 it's now labeled as "WBAY-6" instead of "Catchy", so they might be keeping it as a placeholder for a future addition.

Re: BUGS: UI 20250325g

Also, it's not always the same episode airing on both channels. Big Bang Theory airs in syndication and is in heavy rotation on TBS and Nick at Nite, with a lot of head to head airings.

Higher resolution doesn't always mean the best version either. It might not apply to Big Bang Theory, but many ...

Re: Guide not updating

ontvtonight does not use Gracenote as a source.

They can only fix it for you when Gracenote has a station with the correct data.

For the other previous changes Silicondust had other stations carrying those networks to use as a listings source, while networks like Telemundo and Ion have national feeds that are carried by cable and sat providers.

They have nothing to use for Game Show Central as Scripps is the only broadcaster ...

Re: Guide not updating

OnTVTonight uses Xperi for data. While they were told about this one in advanced, in many areas they are lagging well behind on updates. Like that guide data source still lists TrueReal for one of my Ion subchannels, despite that network ceasing operations back in March 2023. While for Nosey and ...

Is this an issue with the HD device, HD application or the Roku application?
