Are the recordings from ATSC 3.0 encrypted? It would seem that if they are not, media servers like Plex should be able to handle the recordings like any other video. Is this correct or am I missing something?

They are not like any another "video" because of the AC-4 audio so even without DRM ...

Thanks for checking that, I've passed that on to the author. I rebooted my PC a couple of days ago and the scheduled updates have started working.

It would be nice if the BDA dead connection timeout issue could be looked at deeper, the rtp method on Linux seems more stable.

Thanks again.

Thanks for looking.

From the description "The BDA driver detected a dead connection" it does sounds like BDA doesn't timeout on its own and it took NextPVR reintialized BDA on the manual run to make the tuner available.

Can you tell me how long it took 587 to respond after 539 in the earlier ...

At 4:44 you would also see a Linux test using rtp which was successful.

Hours later I still get

Please turn on "send diagnostic information" in HDHomeRun Setup... then we can see what the BDA driver is doing.

OK thanks I just enabled it. You should focus on 10528531-0

I am running a control now, basically you should see an 8197 PID scan with the found PID's being added and running for ...

There is a keepalive system. If the original app terminates the HDHomeRun will drop the lock in about a minute or so.

After terminating the app with taskkill I didn't see it timeout after much more than a minute, that is why I thought BDA internals were potentially keeping it alive. I expect ...

So if BDA locks the tuner and the original calling program fails and is no longer running is there a solution other than reboot?

I am trying to figure out why NextPVR OTA updates fail for me on Windows every night after a connection. In debugging this does using a BDA tuner prevent use from hdhomerun_config on the "hung" tuner? I couldn't do anything with the HDHR until an HDHR reboot. I am running on 172.16.3.3

To conclude the thread the the 4DT device works fine here with the modulator. My only issue is the annoying logic of the Silicondust scan which remove channels from the http interface when a recan takes place but that annoyance is on ATSC too with weak signals.

That's fine in BDA and RTP modes only the required PIDs are requested. It is only the special case when we need to do full mux for testing scan, OTA EPG etc that we need the full mux.

Great, the Dekltek modulator will send the full mux properly so I expect to that the PID 18 data will be available via rtp and BDA just like we get it today from broadcast via the HDHR. Hopefully I can find a refurb unit sometime.

Note that in this case the userls problem was solved by switching ...

I ran into a support issue for NextPVR on the forum today https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=66125&pid=598698#pid598698 I have a DVB-T/C/ATSC/QAM modulator and I can feed coax into DVB-T devices so I can test scanning and OTA EPG.
